A.D.

I have a thing for journalism comics like this. I watched Katrina on TV, and it just wasn't comprehensible, but through the eyes of these seven people, it's become a lot more vivid and personal. Makes you feel closer to what happened there.

I think I would have liked this more if it were the only Katrina story I'd ever read. It covered some ground that was old to me. But still, well-done oral histories.

A graphic novel told from seven points of view about the events before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina. I loved Zeitoun, a recent read about Katrina. I loved A.D., too.

(I suppose I will always find it jarring to see comic book characters smoke and drink, but hey, I would imagine there was a lot of smoking and drinking in NO after Katrina.)
