5. Thanks.

I suspected they would do a second printing, as the demand is so high, and the first printings are going for $40 on eBay already. I'm so happy I jumped on pre-ordering this the minute I heard about it. I was able to get a first printing variant. :)

Now, I really have to stop buying Obama memorabilia! I thought I'd finally maxed out with my last purchase, a Barack-in-the-Box, but who can resist Spidey? So it will be safely stored along with my other Obama non-wearables, and my Star Trek collection. The attic is getting full!

6. While they're there the should pick up a copy of Watchmen, too.

I promise the writing will be better than the Spider Man issue, and then you might know why everyone is getting so geeked over the movie. :)
