Army Of Darkness: Ash Saves Obama #1 REVIEWED

Is this just another cheap Obama comic?

In my continuation to try to review some comics that aren't from the 'big two,' I thought I'd review Obama's crossover with Ash from Army Of Darkness.  When I first heard about this, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  There's been so many Obama cover appearances.  Is this going to be different?  It's not just a cover appearance.  It's actually a four issue mini-series.  Can this possibly work or has the world just gone crazy?
 
  
 Will we ever see the end of Obama's comic book appearances?  Do you think he has what it takes to fight off the Army Of Darkness?  Could this lead to Ash becoming the new Secretary of Defense?

I am a fan of Ash.  I am a fan of Dynamite Entertainment.  However I'm not a fan of Obabma popping up in comic books.   
 
I DO like the art.  Who loves ya, baby?  Had to say it.....  :)

I think this is too try and reach teens and young adults to try and say "hey politics are fun and so is your President" but idk I'm at odds,I voted for Obama and hopefully he does what he has to do,but this whole comic thing is kinda cheesy to me like they say at the end of this review I think this is just a trend right now and it will more than likely go away.......unless people spend alot of money on the comics :)

I wouldn't be too worried about it. Watched it recently myself. It is weird to say the least. But I supposed good campy B fun! I do like that guy now that he is in Burn Notice though. 
 
PS: I'll pass on any Obama comic book... Lame O

They also poke fun at the Obama craze.

I liked the President Evil comic from Antarctic Press made, but I do love the satirical twist Army of Darkness always adds to their story. It should be interesting to see how Ash interacts with President Obama. Does the president just be there as a target for the army, or does he actually serve a greater purpose.

SERIOUSLY ?  THE RENDERING HAS NO RESEMBLANCE...NOT EVERY BLACK GUY IN A COMIC BOOK IS THE PRESIDENT.  AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE HIM, NOR DID I VOTE FOR HIM....BOOOOO

I'm completely sick of him in books and media. GO AWAY. He's still on the campaign trail. Hmmm Maybe these comic will make my popularity in the polls stop dropping... 
 
Sure maybe this is poking fun at him, but really, do we need him shoved into every part of our media life?

I love Army of Darkness, but damn I am soooooooooooooo sick of Obama, if I wanted to see Obama I would watch CNN, GET OUT OF MY COMICS!!!!!
