Enter Jimmy Burns, a blogger who happens to capture, live on his webcam, the suicide bomber take out that Starbucks in Williamsburg …and finds himself propelled  to war correspondent status, as an embed in Iraq, determined to record the truth …


This is the story in Anthony Lappe's new graphic novel, Shooting War.

I heard the author interviewed today.All very plausible, but twisted enough to keep things entertaining.

The point is that these anti-war people keep screaming about wanting to end the war, yet they are supporting candidates who have made no secret that they have no intention of stopping the war.

Staying in Iraq.  More candidates are backing out of the "I'm pulling" stance.

Some idiot blogger, who happens to be at the right place, right time, becomes the highly reputable source on war reporting.

More attacks on the U.S.  Security has turned from lax to completely ignorant in our nation's airports it seems our local governments are more interested in placating SIGs than providing law and order.

Roar!,roar,"lies!!",scream,yell!,sput,spit,spurt,roar,...
...

lol,jeezzz...

It`s a novel,a work of fiction(as apposed to non-fiction),a book, a story,a tale.lol

There`s more to life than rage,guys.

This is to read, and enjoy the pictures.

It`s not for knee jerk political attacks.Flip to another mood once in a while.Not everything in life is about Hillary/politics.jeeshhh..


And there`s great pictures and artwork, on high quality glossy paper.

Wall Street Journal (9/22)
“Comic books had already made the transition from print to Web. Now they’re crossing back as publishers roll out printed books based on Web comics.”



Baltimore Sun
“Shooting War is nothing less than a shot across the bow of the blog generation.”


Financial Times, London (10/13)
“[Dan Goldman] employs the computer to the full, overlaying figures on photo backgrounds and manipulating everything with software effects. The result is an eye-frazzling, mind-warping collage, like a sequence of Banksy murals, all aglow with doomy orange hues…The satire is ferocious. At one point a soon-to-be Islamic martyr scoffs junk food, saying, ‘This burger makes me feel sated yet vaguely disgusted with myself. What I imagine it feels like to be an American every day.’ Moments like this, both terrifyingly plausible and plausibly terrifying, abound, as Lappe extrapolates from current events to warn how White House foreign policy may well take us all to hell. Originally free online, this strip deserves its enshrinement between hard covers.”
