Matteo Farinella made this lovely comic about open access publishing of science papers!

Really nice!
I still think that is quite a rose tinted view of peer review and metrics. The comic does a good job of pointing out the foundations of these processes we are meant to trust and how they have evolved into a system that can be abused. I think that this should have been published 10-15 years ago, now I would say the recommendation should probably be for boycotts, pitchforks, protests, letter writing campaigns to your government, and standing in the street with a sandwich board that says DOOM! THE END OF ACADEMIA IS NIGH!
However, on second thoughts this comic is more constructive than my suggestion.
