ARMED & ANGRY: OBAMA GRACES COVER OF NEW COMIC....To Be Released 9/11/13

Something tells us that the gun-control wing of the Democratic party is not going to like the image chosen for the cover of IDW’s new comic, “The Other Dead.”

”The Other Dead” is the work of three heavyweights in the comic industry — Joshua Ortega (Gears of War), Digger T. Mesch (Agent 88), and Kevin Eastman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). The series was announced back in the Spring of this year with a media release that explained it this way:

As a weary community braces for the onslaught of an incoming superstorm, an even more insidious force grows right under their noses! When a sudden outbreak turns every animal in sight into raging, flesh-craving monsters, a colorful cast of characters will have no choice but to contend with THE OTHER DEAD!

The first issue is slated for release on Sept. 11, 2013 . And while the Obama cover is set to be on issue #1, it is not going to be on every single copy of that first printing. In fact, it will only be featured on every 10th issue printed and sent to comic book sellers. In the comic world, this is referred to as a “variant.” In other words, if a store orders 100 copies of “The Other Dead,” 10 of them will have the Obama cover. These limited edition covers will be more valuable and actually create a secondary market among collectors.
