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.

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.
