Stephen Colbert Saves Spider-Man's Ass

You know you've made it when... Actually, Stephen Colbert has a few of these moments in his career over just the past three years. There was "truthiness," which he coined early in the run of his show, The Colbert Report, there was his unofficially official (or officially unofficial) run for President that was taken more seriously by his fans than the establishment was comfortable with, there was his bit part in The Love Guru (OK, maybe not that), and now there's Spider-Man. Colbert, an animation star in his own right with the Tek Jansen series, is on one of three covers of this month's issue of The Amazing Spider-Man. If you don't know, Colbert's presidential bid is continuing, at least in the Marvel Universe. Appropriately, the issue in which Colbert and the web-slinger team up is "extra-sized," so get your hands on The Amazing Spider-Man #573 beginning October 15th. If you want to follow Colbert's campaign in the Marvel Universe, there's a great Comedy Central blog that features posts like "Marvel Universe: Colbert for President - Sarah Palin Skrull Controversy." Needless to say, it's worth a read.
