If you’re watching TV tonight, you’re watching the debates. Seriously. It’s been a roundabout couple of months for us here at the B&U. First, we couldn’t turn off the Olympics, then we couldn’t turn off election coverage, then the economy almost committed suicide, now we’re back to the most talked about Vice Presidential debate in history.

In the Marvel Universe, however, Stephen Colbert was never removed from the Democratic ticket and – with Marvel’s label-wide crossover dealing with a Skrull invasion – seems to be the only human left in the campaign.

That might explain why he’s going to team up with Spidey in Amazing Spider-Man #573.

If you’ve missed Colbert’s odd tie-in with the Marvel universe, there is a in-character blog following the campaign and the Skrull invasion at the Indecision 2008 site that you can read HERE.

Otherwise, we’re off to buy this variant cover so we can add it to our election ’08 memorabilia.

Say what you will about us owning a McCain/Palin t-shirt, but when we unpack that thing from it’s official shipping box in late January when Obama gets sworn in, it’s going to be so hip to our Williamsburg friends that their heads might explode.
