COMICS: Obama Is Packing Heat On The Cover Of THE OTHER DEAD #1

When the POTUS graces a comic cover, that issue tends to sell VERY well indeed (The Amazing Spider-Man #583 for example) and it seems IDW fancy a bit of that action. Check out the cover to their new animal zombie comic after the jump..

“A motley cast of characters has no choice but to battle the dead, using a hefty amount of firepower and whatever else is at their disposal.”

You should try to pick up a copy of this when it premieres in September, as apparently that issue of The Amazing Spider-Man I mentioned is the best selling comic book of the 21st century! But aside from that The Other Dead sounds pretty cool: Instead of human brain-eaters, it's the Earth's animal population that are zombified! The series debuts September 11 2013 (a very specific date that obviously sheds a bit of light on that interesting cover above) with the creative team of Joshua Ortega (Gears of War), Digger T. Mesch (Agent 88), and Kevin Eastman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

@Ranger14 LMFAO, Good one!

I remember when Garth Ennis wrote a storyline about zombie animals in Hitman. That was a fun read.

ParisSun - 7/2/2013, 12:02 PM

This must be the thread for Dbags. I'm gone.

Dmon - 7/2/2013, 12:05 PM

@HouseOfExtremeSexiness Have you not read the News this week? Angela Merkel has been busy getting rid of wiretaps and bugs set by Obama.

MarkV - 7/2/2013, 12:07 PM

Sickening.

BlackPhillip - 7/2/2013, 12:47 PM

Obama w/ firearms? Yea, right! Haha! He'd rather send drones to kids overseas.

gaikinger - 7/2/2013, 12:54 PM

Obama...why stupid people shouldn't vote

SamWinchester - 7/2/2013, 12:55 PM

Some of you guys are morons. Bunch of racist Teabagger marks.

Priest - 7/2/2013, 1:03 PM

How many people here actually believe that if Romney had won, there wouldn't be drone strikes or there wouldn't be any spying on US citizens?

BlindLemonShemp - 7/2/2013, 1:20 PM

Hes only the POTUS if he's elected legally and officially... so technically the last real POTUS we had was Clinton... sort of..

BlindLemonShemp - 7/2/2013, 1:21 PM

and yea... funk obama and funk this stupid comic... this country gets more retarded every day

Well I see a douche liberal has already responded.

Priest - 7/2/2013, 2:00 PM

The problem with our country is money in politics. Congress has been bought by the mega rich, big corporations and special interests.

crowlers - 7/2/2013, 2:15 PM

The Teabaggers have decended, abandon thread.

marantaz - 7/2/2013, 2:16 PM

Bullshit. The problem in our country is government. The Federal government. It is operating beyond its Constitutional authority, it has been for well over 100 years, and every decade gets worse.
I predict the sales for this comic will be....um...less than stellar, and I'm being kind.
I can't see the picture...President Obama with a gun? Nerf or water pistol? I saw a picture of him with a nerf gun...looked silly.
I won't be buying this...my bird died.
