A movie is too hard to deal with , so we'll give the people some pretty colored pictures to look at. Lets make 9/11 into some surreal non event, so as not to upset the masses.

God, this nation gets more and more pussified every day.

As long as PC does not get blatant, is this bad?

The dumbing down of the collective mentality goes on...

It doesn't look too bad, but the real test is how the "graphic novel" format deals with showing people who are about to die.

Everything gets the comicbook treatment. WWII got it but it wasn't PCed too badly.

The 9/11 commission report WAS fiction.

Left out ABLE DANGER, left out Gorelicks wall (on behest of hillary, afraid of the data mining that would expose their chinese fundraising--Doral link).

Looks great to me. "Graphic novels" (though I don't read them) are a legitimate medium, just a way to communicate a story/message (like TV, radio, movies, theater, books, magazines, newspapers, blogs, and so on).

The dumbing down of America continues. Many highschool students don't know which side America was on in WWII yet they are convinced that George Bush is "Hitler." Next thing you know they will come out with 9/11 video games where little creeps can play hijacker.

I think you mean Loral instead of Doral.

This story needs to be told to everybody. If it is told through movies, comic books or on the backs of cereal boxes, it's all good, IMHO.

Different people get information in different ways. But every American needs to know this story.

Unless it is terrorist apologist bullshit, of course.

Some Graphic novels actually teach more than many textbooks. Depending how this is written, this may actually get some younger kids interested in this subject.

Absolutely! I am more attracted to visuals, as many people in my generation are (I'm a college student). Hopefully, this will raise awareness of September 11 among people across the nation and will help to further the cause of liberty during this long struggle against Islamic Fascism.

Marvel put out a series of comic books dealing with 9-11 and the impact it had on their various characters; they also put out special artwork that paid tribute to the ploice, firefighters, etc.
