New Comic Book About Logic, Math, and Madness

areYouAHypnotist writes to tell us the New York Times has the scoop on a new comic book about the quest for logical certainty in mathematics. "The story spans the decades from the late 19th century to World War II, a period when the nature of mathematical truth was being furiously debated. The stellar cast, headed up by Bertrand Russell, includes the greatest philosophers, logicians and mathematicians of the era, along with sundry wives and mistresses, plus a couple of homicidal maniacs, an apocryphal barber, and Adolf Hitler."

Let me give you a vision... You're in your early 20s, overweight, lazy, long greasy hair, hardcore gamer, living in mom's basement, you own a third rate katana, you wear a trench coat and some dollar store pentacle or Celtic necklace, big collection of Dungeons and Dragons shit, you tell people you're a Buddhist but have never read any of the buddhavacanas , you love Twilight, you hate work, you tell people you're geek but you've never had a single program work right, you hardly graduated public school and never even attempted college, like to talk science but you don't know the first thing about how anything works, you know even less about mathematics.

Yeah I know who you are, comic book fag. You're all the same.

P.S. Have a blast working second shift on a Friday night at the local Subway. You didn't have anything else going on anyway.

Maybe it's just an unfortunate quote, but...

...includes the greatest philosophers, logicians and mathematicians of the era, along with sundry wives and mistresses...

Maybe I'm seeing omission where there is none, but I find it unlikely that there were no contributions to this subject from female philosophers, logicians and mathematicians. Please tell me they've not been left out of the story in the comic.
