Shout-Out! Shooting War

[via AlterNet]

Shooting War, a graphic novel set in Iraq in the year 2011, has been chilling readers and making headlines about its vivid and surreal depiction of the war zone.”

There is a pretty solid Q&A with Shooting War writer, and journalist, Anthony Lappe on AlterNet. Regarding his motivation for scripting Shooting War, Lappe commented:

“I am convinced it will go down in history as one of the greatest military blunders of the modern era. It is a great tragedy. But also an incredible farce. And it is the intersection of tragedy and surreal farce that I try to capture in Shooting War. “

Get down with Zack Pelta-Heller’s separate review of the graphic novel on AlterNet as well. Can Shooting War impact the awareness of Comics enthusiasts in America (and their perception on the war in Iraq?) Drop some of your own clue and let me know what you think. Bahlactus has spoken.
