Webmaster Video Comments: By author Anthony Lappé and illustrator Dan Goldman. The year is 2011 and Jimmy Burns, a young anti-corporate blogger, has just seen a Starbucks (and his apartment above it) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn blown to bits by yet another terrorist attack on New York City. He's recorded the gruesome scene on his videoblog camera—footage Burns beams live to a freaked-out world—which makes him an overnight media star. Exploited by his own network (Global News Network: "Your home for 24-hour terror coverage"), enraged by the terrorists, and determined to tell the American people the truth, Burns takes off for Iraq to get the real story of a war that's been raging for more than eight years. But Burns' greatest dream (to be a war correspondent) becomes his biggest nightmare as he nearly loses his mind in the paranoia, chaos and destruction of the spiraling civil war.

It is an amazing graphic novel with political satire that foreshadows an all too possible future.

I actually assumed it was made by images stolen off the Internet. Turns out, the guy took these pics himself overseas. The story doesn't have the greatest dialog, but it offers a really complex view of what very well COULD happen. Shit, I bought my copy.
