War Is Boring

New American Library has posted a commercial for my new graphic novel War Is Boring.

Four years after it was published by New York indie NBM, my debut graphic novel War Fix warrants mention in an article by Comic Book Bin entitled “NBM Responds to War.” Also featured is my friend and inspiration Ted Rall.

From Publishers Weekly.

On Saturday morning in D.C., I’ll be sitting on a panel at the American Independent Writers association, talking about war journalism. I’ll be joined by former Danger Room scribe Nathan Hodge. If you’re in D.C., please consider attending. Afternoon drinks and football-watching to follow the panel.

It’s one of the world’s bloodiest and, for outsiders, least understood conflict. Since the mid-1990s, a complex web of political rebellions, resource wars and apocalyptic religious crusades has killed at least 700,000 people and displaced millions in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

My upcoming graphic novel, War Is Boring — due in August from New American Library — has received its first review, from Kirkus.

Freelance journalist David Axe was embedded with the U.S. Air Force at Bagram airbase near Kabul, Afghanistan. He talked to fighter pilots about their mission to provide close air support to U.S. troops on the ground.
