Looks great!

As I've always agreed with the CIA that the comic is the perfect format to promote propaganda to the semi and illiterate.

:lol: At the idea that those who know about Amazing Fantasy #15 aren't exactly those who went on to learn about the Hegelians.

Nothing wrong with a good comic book.

My guess is that as the writer of this series, Fred Van Lente, also writes for Marvel there's a better than passing chance that he also knows what the significance of Amazing Fantasy #15 is and he's also got at least a passing familiarity with philosophy or at least the history of philosophy.
