The online graphic novel ''Shooting War' just keeps getting better and better with each week. In this issue, a group of US soldiers are ambushed after being setup by insurgents who appear to be Iranian intelligence agents. What impresses me about this comic is that it is so real and gritty. If one is paying attention at all to events in Iraq, one can see that the folks behind this graphic novel are doing their homework. I get the feeling that they are regular readers of Juan Cole's blog. If you aren't reading it, it is definitely worth the time. It's an excellent insight into day-to-day life on the ground in Iraq as well as penetrating analysis of the effects the Second Gulf War is having on Middle Eastern politics and culture.
