Shooting War- web comic version
From our friends at http://shootingwar.com/ comes a reality check.
Paper (November 2007)
Wired (14:10) “Calling Shooting War a Web comic is like calling Crime and Punishment a mere tale of murder…Shooting War tracks hipster Jimmy Burns from the obscurity of video-blogging Brooklyn’s anticorporate beat for his own site to his reluctant fame gained by vlogging an endlessly occupied Iraq for the Global News network. His story has wit and heart to spare, but the real star is the mediascape swirling around him, which Goldman depicts in a vivid combination of photography, illustration, and digital painting.”

“While Anthony Lappé and Dan Goldman’s ambitious new graphic novel Shooting War takes places in a dystopian 2011 - where President McCain keeps the Iraq war raging, jihadists are blowing up Starbucks, and the news networks are busy dissecting Jaime Lynn Spears-Dallas Cowboys sex scandal - it doesn’t read like science fiction. ‘You really can’t make this stuff up,’ says Lappé, who covered the war in Iraq as a journalist. ‘Actually, you can, but then reality beats you to the punch line.’”
