Forbidden Planet International’s Joe Gordon gives SHOOTING WAR some exceptionally well-reasoned love after reading it on paper for the first time, courtesy of Weidenfeld & Nicholson’s 16-page preview booklet. My favorite bit for you lazies:

And with W&N lining up interviews and appearances for the creators when the book comes out it should be publicised well beyond just the traditional comics media - I’ve felt all along that the mainstream media, especially newspapers like the Guardian which have given good support to graphic novels in the past, will love this. And that sort of coverage isn’t just good for promoting one book, that sort of interest promotes our entire genre, often to new readers who may not have picked up comics since they were kids and are unaware of just how powerful and mature an artform they can be.
