Agreed with the first commenter. What a pointless degree. This will not help us cure cancer or improve nano-technology, nor will it enlighten us on meaningful topics in the way of sociology and philosophy. What's the use (or even just intellectual interest) in a detailed knowledge of comics of all things? Reminds me of the recent degree in 'The Beatles'. Utter useless nonsense.

Just what the world needs, more degrees in bullshit subjects... This is little more than a way for the university to make some more money, nothing else.
