Obama's now the Zombie killer

Barack Obama has been depicted as a chainsaw wielding Zombie killer in a new comic series called President Evil.

Political opponents have portrayed the US president with a play on the popular horror franchise Resident Evil.

The new comic books see a "heavily-armed Barack" fight with and alongside fellow politicians such as Sarah
Palin, John McCain and Hillary Clinton.

In the comic, Obama crash-lands Air Force One in Washington to find the city has been taken over by zombies, all infected by a virus originating from swine flu.

He finds himself being saved by Palin, renamed 'Paladin', as well as former presidential opponent McCain, nicknamed 'McPain'.

The trio are led by Paladin towards the White House where they meet a somewhat-crazed Hillary chewing on Zombie flesh. The zombie hunters also encounter other politicians such as former president George W Bush.

This is the latest satirical attack on Obama, who has been targeted for his efforts to reform health care and stimulus spending.

An anonymously created and circulated poster of Obama as Joker from The Dark Knight had earlier spark-ed a controversy.
