9/11: The Comic Book

Sorry, it’s not a "comic book" — it’s a "graphic adaptation".

Bits of it are being excerpted on Slate, but I can tell you now that if it didn’t cover such a monsterous event in history, it would be unintentionally funny.  Take, for example, this panel showing Bush on 9/11 going to speak to grade school kids in Florida:

As Wonkette points out, it’s clear that Karl Rove is being protrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman.  But what cracks me up is Bush’s Superman-like stature.  I mean, who stands like that?
