A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge
 This "webcomic" from SMITH magazine opens with the quiet and the denial that gripped so much of the Gulf Coast (and the rest of the U.S.) before the storm came crashing through the levies to batter everything in its path. Artist, writer, and cartoonist extraordinaire Josh Neufeld is only three chapters (and two prologues) in to the tale so far, but we couldn't wait to feature it. The panels have been set up, the characters introduced. And even though we know how the overarching story will unfold, we're on the edge of our seats wondering about Hamid, Kevin, Denise, and the others whose real-life tales wind through "A.D." Start at the beginning, with its lush aerial shots of New Orleans and the ominous renderings of Katrina's approach. One fan has commented that "the mounting tension is stifling." We would only add: "and addictive."
