Shooting War gets a huge shout out in a survey of the best comics about the Iraq war in Slate, which calls SMITH’s webcomic “One of the more ambitious attempts to address the Iraq war,” “vividly drawn” and “full of sex” (that’s the spirit!). We’re honored to be included among the likes of Joe Sacco, Brian K. Vaughan (whose Pride of Baghdad, about lions escaping from the zoo, is out of this world) and other luminaries of the craft (some found in the Best American Comics 2006). Congrats to Anthony Lappé and Dan Goldman, currently busting their tails to finish the Shooting War book, due out later this year from Warner Books.
