It might do well. i hope it does! My Uncle was HIV+ and developed non-hodgkins lymphoma and ended up dying from complications after a bone marrow transplant. Even though he lived clear on the other side of the country, his death affected me deeply because we were just starting to get to know each other... this drove me to a deep interest in HIV and cancer. I know I want to work in the medical field when "I grow up", but am debating over whether I want to be an oncologist, or devote my life to educating young people here in the states as well as Africa about HIV/AIDs and other aspects of sexual health.

This is an amazing idea to spread HIV awareness to the younger generation that is the mosted highly affected. With all the video games, comic book themed movies, and comic books... The Idea of using that medium is genius! I think this will do amazing not only for Robert, but the world as well. Great idea of doing a piece on this guy, i think we are going to see a lot more of him in the near future and i think you're the first to pic this story (least it's the first i've herd of it.)
Gongrats to you and Robert.-

Great concept! This should prove interesting on how well people respond to it. Growing up I was an avid comic book reader. Comics actually was a big influence in my life at the time. This is a genius way to get your piont across to an audience that is very unaware about HIV/AIDS. There should be more comics that should hit directly on certain social issues like Robert's book the O+MEN. Great feature on a worthy story.
