Shooting War is a graphic novel form essay on a speculative near future of media monopoly and the ongoing war in Iraq. Blackly humorous and striking in its plausability. The events it portrays lie only a few years in our future... I'm rather morbidly curious to see how true they turn out to be. Sometimes artists can predict the future better than those who get paid to appear on news shows and try that game. The Ex have a lyric on an album that came out in April of 2001 "no chance to wait for things to change/ unless buildings get hit by planes"... creepy a bit? <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/38412?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
