Study: Comics Mirror Threat-Level

A lot of people love this kind of news, at least judging from the number of people who sent the link, but to me this sounds like something that would be funded by the Veidt Corporation. In general, mainstream comics have in the 1970s-on seemed too manipulative and crass to participate in the kind of unintended mirroring this study would suggest they did. Also, I don't remember the Iran Hostage Crisis as an occasion where people in America felt threatened as much as they felt depressed and slightly pathetic (Charlie Daniels Band and certain t-shirt vendors aside). I'd still like to see the article when it comes out.
