Shooting War reading and party tonight

Today is the official release of the graphic novel Shooting War, set in Iraq in 2001, written by Anthony Lappé and illustrated by Dan Goldman, and starring a hipster blogger named Jimmy Burns. I reviewed it in the current issue of Penthouse, and last year interviewed illustrator Dan Goldman. (I also interviewed the Grand Central Publishing editor of Shooting War, Jaime Levine, for Mediabistro.) See Shootingwar.com for more info on the book and its webcomic origins. (I'd also recommend checking out that site to any authors for how to make a creative, engaging book promotion website that covers all the bases, an increasing necessity to spread the word about your books.)

You can win one of three copies of Shooting War from Fantasy Book Critic.
