Colbert in Amazing Spider-man! That's ...AMAZING! I like this thing Marvel's doing with Colbert in the Marvel U. I wish he would become the Marvel U's American President but I hardly think that constitutes a "dark reign".

Well thats a Team up i didnt see coming. _________________ "Greater the power, greater the responsability"
I don't understand...This isn't his first appearance...His first appearance was in Friend Neighborhood Spider-Man #15. So because of BND did that screw up that issue or something? I mean I thought Joe Q. said that Spider-Man past would stay the same except where it dealt with Mary Jane?
Ohhh well...just another lie from Mephisto/Joe Q....

Finally after years of waiting. No greater team up has occured in the history. This will line the halls of legends along with President Taft joins the JLA, and Bill Clinton Meets Wonder Woman which most historians will still claim as "40 pages of the greatest display of sexual harassment in recent times" lol good show marvel, good show. can't wait to buy! _________________ "When God gives you lemons, you blame Tony Stark and dismantle S.H.I.E.L.D."
and I mean that in a "It's actually happening! Yeah!!" way not a "It took them long enough" way. I don't even watch the Daily show, because the Colbert Report is WAAAAAAY better!!!
As much as I like Stephen Colbert, Marvel reached a level of overkill with this when practically every comic on the stands started showing some mention of his "campaign" in it.
Just because two things are good, doesn't mean you should mash them together. Do you like ice cream? Do you like ketchup? Do you have any desire to try ketchup-flavored ice cream? If you do, you're probably a Skrull, because anyone born on Earth just felt their stomach roll.
Marvel, you need to pull Colbert's piece out of your mouth already. You can't act like you want everyone to take you seriously, then showcase you juvenile fascination with a television celebrity.

1)I don't like ice cream or ketchup so my stumach rolled when you said ice cream. and then when you put them together... I vomited. Hell I'm vomiting right now.
2)Marvel's fascination with celberties is more than a joke. look at all the skrull celebs in SI:5.
