Yeah, fair enough. We'll see soon enough. I guess I'm just a bit wary because Marvel and DC have a really bad history of just ... taking it for granted that brilliance, especially scientific brilliance, is easily quantifiable and rankable, and that when someone says Batman's the world's greatest detective or Mr. Terrific and Amadeus Cho name themselves the third and seventh smartest people alive of their respective planets, we're just supposed to take this for granted. It's silly.
So if Hickman's not doing that and Reed's being all unreliable narrator, that would be a welcome relief. Hmmm, I'll take another read.
