There's a graphic novel online at Smith Magazine that is so gripping it's not to be missed.

“SHOOTING WAR is a commentary about where we’re headed in Iraq and the larger war on terror as well as the role of bloggers in telling the stories of the future,” says Anthony Lappé, the novel's writer. Lappe is a pretty remarkable and rare new kind of storyteller. He's the first of a new generation of filmmaker/journalist/activists who takes issues seriously - and uses all the tools at his disposal to make his stories heard.

At GNN - the Gurila News Network - he's the Executive Editor. At GNN He is the co-author of GNN's True Lies and the producer of their Iraq doc, BattleGround.

Here's how the Shooting War is described:

The Story of Shooting War
New York, NY — The year is 2011, and Jimmy Burns, a young anti-corporate blogger has just seen his Williamsburg apartment blown to bits by yet another terrorist attack on New York City. He’s recorded the gruesome scene on his videoblog camera—footage Burns beams live to a freaked-out world and that makes him an overnight media sensation. Exploited by his own network (Global News: “Your home for 24-hour terror coverage”), enraged by the terrorists, and determined to tell the American people the truth, Burns takes off for Iraq to get the real story of a war that’s been raging for more than eight years. SHOOTING WAR is written by Anthony Lappé, illustrated by Dan Goldman.
