the near-future is looking very depressing … and very familiar. the idea of a W hotel, a KFC, and a Starbucks in downtown Baghdad is just too ridiculous to be dis-believed.
and i’m oh so diggin’ goldman’s fan-freakin-tastic art/colors.

“Ice is Civilization!” huh I just watched Mosquito Coast yesterday :D

Exemplary. This reads and looks so hip and modern yet sickens me to my very core. If this doesn’t become a graphic novel cum HBO series, I don’t know what time it is.

Just when I thought it was gonna be a cake walk…BAM!
Constant non-stop-in-my-face…give me the HEAT!

This is great — love the artwork and the story is hideous (in a good way). keep it coming.

I loved the falafel comment on page 2 when Bill O’Reilly was talking. I’m assuming this was a reference to the sexual harrassment suit he got slammed with?

tscan – you got it. nice catch

is that Maureen Dowd in the lobby?
June 8th, 2006 at 9:32 am
yes, nice catch. take a closer look (if you can at web-resolution) at the magazine she’s reading and her facial expression as Jimmy enters the lobby.

This is brilliant, painful work. Thank you. Lots and lots of resonance.
And on a trite note: Is that really Wiley E. Coyote in the artwork in the W Hotel Lobby?!
So, is Dubya most telliingly a reference to Wiley and his hyperbolic insanity?! Hmmn.
Man, I sure hope this is more fiction than next-door future. I’m sick of this sh*t.

It’s actually Wily on the flat screen TV. Any inferences to our current administration’s wrongheaded invasion of a country that posed no threat to us is unintentional.

After ten thousand years of bloodshed in the Middle East, this version of reality is where we’re headed; no matter who winds up in the White House after the next (s)election.

Very good, but it feels a lot like Brian Wood’s DMZ even though the specifics are changed.

Did you fashion that hotel clerk after Alexander Siddig (best known as Dr. Bashir from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and the tragically noble sheik from Syriana)?
June 17th, 2006 at 10:50 pm
Sir, you have just earned yourself an official SHOOTING WAR Eagle Eye Award. Congrats!
I’ve always liked Siddig’s face in whatever role he plays; I sat and chewed the end of a pen thinking of who I’d “cast” in the W concierge role given Anthony’s description and suddenly got a big smile on my face.

I gotta say this keeps on chuggin’ along with a nice pacing. I’d like to see more absurdist action though. This has gotta feel like a Bunuel film or its failing completely!!!

You’re a good writer dude…I love this!

Is the typo ‘Mutlispectral’ intentional? Must be using a Diebold keyboard. ;)

Muy Excellente for the Mosquito Coast quote. Fantastic parallel! Fantastic story!

I’ve been surfing on-line rather more than three hours today, nevertheless I don’t ever found any appealing posting like your site. It’s pretty price ample for me. For my part, if most of website homeowners and folks produced great content material as you do, the web can be a lot way more helpful than ever before.
