The new website has received extensive media coverage in the UK and Europe. A number of British journalists humorously insinuated that the relaunch was done to combat the threat of the Eurosceptic UK Independence Party (UKIP): Matthew Champion of "The Independent" compared the appearance of Dr. D. Vider to the UKIP's leader Nigel Farage, while Catherine Mayer of "Time" magazine called D. Vider's crew "evil-minded euroskeptics dressed in UKIP purple". Conversely, Gus Bentley of "City A.M.", discussing a strip in which Captain Euro convinces David Cameron of the importance of the EU, stated wryly that it "could be mistaken for the latest Ukip leaflet". Pablo Guimón of Spanish newspaper El País wrote: "Hit by the crisis of the monetary union...challenged by the promise of a referendum of the separation of the UK, The European project seems to cry out for the help of a superhero. Fear not: here it is!".
