You’ve probably heard of Superman’s dog, Krypto. You may have even heard of Batman’s Dog, Ace the Bat-Hound. Now, get ready for the latest canine sensation in comic books. Yes, President Barack Obama’s dog Bo is getting his own comic book.

One might expect the Obama children to be next to get their own comic book, but after the uproar over the beanie babies of the Obama children, the kids are likely off-limits.
