The comicbook is selling out so hot and fast that they're selling on eBay for between $25 and $50. Some retailers are selling the comicbook at eBay levels, and promising to donate proceeds over the retail price to charity.

While he's shooting photos, he spots an imposter Obama and swings into action as Spider-Man.

SPIDERMAN 4
Marvel has also recently released the new Spiderman 4 movie posters, which clearly suggest that Carnage will be making an appearance as the new villain.Carnage is a more powerful version of the Venom Symbiote, but this time bonds with a man named Cletus Kasady.
