Looking for something to read? Can’t keep your mind off the current headlines? Thinking that the news is merely a harbinger of worse things to come? Have I got a web comic for you!
[Shooting War](http://smithmag.us/shootingwar/) is the story of a video blogger who was in the wrong place at the right time, inadvertently shot footage of a terrorist hit in Brooklyn, NY, and got sucked in by the media.

On assignment in Iraq, Jimmy’s knee deep in blood, violence, Jesus-freak soldiers and conspiracy.
