“Shooting War” is just an amazing piece. I’m 48, and have not found a comic series compelling in more than 10 years. Thank you for giving me the sense of newness and adventure (in an intellectual sense) that I haven’t felt since O’neil and Adams’ “Night of the Reaper” and the early issues of “Cerebus”.

Lloyd: Thanks very much; that’s high praise indeed. We are very proud of SHOOTING WAR, though I gotta admit: the last ten years has seen some of most compelling and increasingly sophisticated comics work in the medium to date, and as the Carpenters sang, “we’ve only just begun…” The medium gets stronger in the myriad ways we cartoonists collectively flex and branch out, and I am tickled and humbled to have turned you back to the flock.
Feel free (*ANY OF YOU OUT THERE*) to hit me up via email for a “best of graphic novels” list to keep you reading the classics-in-the-making (in my opinion) that are being created right now.

Oh man, this series is amazing. You’re doing an amazing job.
If you compile these into a Graphic Novel, I’ll definitely go out and buy a copy. Keep up the good work.

Best graphic novel presentation I’ve seen on the Web. Sure hope you don’t wither away like other stuff I’ve seen in the past. This story is too important not to tell. Future imagining, hopefully to prevent a F-up situation becoming worse.
Good luck, I’ll be reading.

I just spent an hour or two at work reading this series. Beautiful. I love it. Have you ever thought of screenwriting? You have all the skills required (to my knowledge… im a second year film student). Thanks again for filling up some of my daily work hours.

Kick ass comic! Way to go ant!

What a humbling experience - being moved so deeply by a web comic. It echoes the truth and reality of our age of endless war, and I thank you from the core for producing it. This is seriously one of the best thought-out, near future political thrillers to come out since the high point of Phillip K. Dick’s career. You’ve given us an abyssal vision of the future - a warning of what could come if we stay silent. Please make it into a graphic novel so it can rest on my shelf with “Watchmen”, “The Sandman” and “Give Me Liberty”.
Peace.

This is an incredible series! Timely and futuristic at the same time…
I’m glad I ran across the mention of this novel in Rolling Stone.

Thanks to all of you for your comments. This is my first graphic novel, actually my first fiction. Click on http://gnn.tv to see my day job.

Really great stuff. Give Me Liberty meets Transmetropolitan meets Joe Sacco. The photographic backgrounds are a clever touch too.

i found your story by accident, and read it all in one sit. its atmospheric, emotional, and utterly horrific. the possibility of it being a bit prescient as well is absolutely frightening.
never seen anyone use christian imagery on a soldier to depict evil before. way out wierd but resonating like a string from a bent future where everything is completely fucked up and twisted.
who’s your dealer?

Crash..? Burns..?
I get it…
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, huh?

this is a total ripoff of a brian wood graphic novel called DMZ. You barely changed the main character into a self involved internet blogger which, i can only assume, is a tyler durden poorman representation of yourself.
you’re weak, unresourceful, unoriginal and a waste of time.
November 2nd, 2006 at 10:52 pm
I’ve never read DMZ.

This isn’t a rip-off of DMZ. But it’s a bit overrated compared to Spiders:
