Spike Lee may have hit the nail on the head with his damning portrayal of an inept Federal bureaucracy that failed for days, weeks, and even months to repair the Big Easy in When the Levees Broke, yet Neufeld does the same through the graphic novel form, and by focusing in on the lives of five particular individuals from a various walks of life; all of whom he interviewed many times over the course of the four years that it took him to put this graphic novel together.

Josh Neufeld may have been a no-name comic book writer and artist before this. Not only will his A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge be likely nominated for an Eisner – and even snag one at next summer’s San Diego Comic-Con – but his subsequent ticket to comics stardom, I am convinced, is well assured. He’s yet another one that I will be watching more closely in the coming years.]]>
