Ehh, "significant" is the wrong word for this change.  It's all been 
enhancement and tweaking.  But Kirby-cosmic and Galactus-esque has 
always been part of the plan.  Originally (like three years ago) I had 
planned only a 1968 series.  Now I'm can ramp it up from 1966 to 1969. 
Oooh, watch out for 1969!  I'll be allowing a Neal Adams vibe into that 
series.
