The new Super Heroes

US presidential rivals Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate John McCain are now comic book heroes.

The presumptive nominees for the White House are featured in two new graphic novels that chart each man’s bid to become the next President of the Unites States of America. Each senator appears on the cover of his own book, posed like a superhero standing in front of the American flag.

The books, published by IDW Publishing, go on sale October 8th.
