The Newsarama Blog picks up on the next webstrip to appear on Smithmag, which wowed me last year with the webcomic of Shooting War. Josh Neufeld is creating AD: New Orleans After the Deluge, which sounds like it will be well worth checking out: “I’m getting excited about my next project, A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge, which debuts on Smith Magazine this weekend. Following (belatedly) in the footsteps of Anthony Lappé and dangoldman’s critically acclaimed (and justifiably so!) Shooting War, A.D. is about Hurricane Katrina and its effects on the lives of five real New Orleans residents.
I’ll also be dealing with the effect of the storm on other regions, such as Biloxi, in the parts of the project dealing with my personal experiences as a Red Cross volunteer.
This is my most research-heavy project ever, and is going to be a major focus of my time for the next six months (at least). I plan on putting up a new chapter at least once a month, and hopefully more often than that. And it’ll all be free for viewing at Smith.”
