I finally understand the horror of that day. No wonder Dr. Doom shed a tear.

What happened to Slate? They run that UNITED 93 review that criticizes it for not giving audiences enough 9/11 vengeance, then glorify this elementary school trainwreck.

Is that a guy puking blood onto a woman in the "Flight 93" panel?

I find Slate sort of a funny read - they always seem to have this sort of moral vacuum or imbalance. Not the right terms - but this seem to be a perfect example.

My most anticipated comic since Part 11 of the OJ Simpson Trial Comic Saga: The Robert Shapiro Story.

That 9/11 comic is excellent, by the way. It's a really good way to show lunkheads a more in-depth assessment.

It's a standalone book, not a Slate article.

Please, Nick, now you're bringing "knowledge" and "facts" into this!

I wouldn't call it excellent. Telling the tale in a dynamic adventure fashion really cheapens the message. Check out the work of Joe Sacco, Peter Kuper, Art Spiegelman or Chester Brown to see how documentary type comics can work.

I also wouldn't call it a dynamic adventure. I think part one of Slate's excerpt did a great job of presenting the simultaneous stories of the four airplanes involved in the attacks. The single page that you used as an example depicts the beginning stages of the battle for control of flight 93, so of course it's going to be violent and dynamic--it was a violent and dynamic event--but trying to present it as an adventure comic is slightly off base.

You can tell these kind of stories in a variety of ways. I love some of the guys BobClark mentioned, but I also love the BIG BOOK way. This is a solid product and people ought not judge it by a few snips. I have read the thing and it's not shameless and I could imagine some folks getting good use out of it.

Compared to the more formal layouts of the artists I mentioned this looks dynamic. I guess it's a matter of personal taste.
