What do you make of the decision to translate the report into this form?
I see no harm it it, and see no reason to dismiss the content based solely on the medium in which it's presented. Comics can be a powerful and unique way to present information. It can also be a form that's a bit more accessible to some, which I can only see as a good thing.

The artwork is well done, though I am in agreement with Ustwo that a different font would have been better, preferably the one used in most Marvel books currently that uses lower case letters.

I'm interested in hearing a fuller explanation of exactly what you all are objecting to. I didn't anticipate nearly this level of opposition to the project.
I suspect that theres a belief that comics is a children's medium and that putting something of such gravity into comic form trivializes it. Think of it as a slippery slope. If we can make a comic about 9/11, what's next? The Holocaust? Heaven forbid we trivialize that by making a comic out of it.
