I always saw it as something unique between Obama and his wife. Now the fist pound has offically become the new hi-five all across America--(Got dammit the secret is out and we can't have anything to ourselves anymore). Especially the way it's being used here. Spidey meets the new President (who happens to be black) and because it's Obama, he has to do the fist pound with him. I don't know, it just seems Like Spidey is being a little too PC here with Obama. The Obama-fist pound has become sooo generic now in the spotlight.

There were people on the ABC News Nightline piece who'd never read a comic! I think a more photo realistic artist would've been appropriate in this case. Still good for comics I guess!?

He totally does not look like Obama! He looks like Generic Black Dude 101. I haven't read many comics, as primarily a manga fan, but I do follow the Buffy and Angel ones, and the resemblances to real people issue is one that bugs me a lot. I know, I know, an artist has to be free to do their own style, etc., but I'm a real proponent of photo referencing. It takes me out of the story when people look all wonky. Wow.
