Kevin Ferris of the Philadelphia Inquirer talks about the book in his Back Channels column today. We met Kevin at CPAC and we’re happy that he was interested in the book!

We also met Erik of No Pasaran! at CPAC. Erik’s mentioned us today too. We were able to see a copy of Erik’s graphic novel General Leonardo at CPAC, too. Now we have to figure out how to get a copy from France!

A poster named “rightgrafix” was nice enough to pick up on the book and posted a FreeRepublic notice. Thanks!

The FR staff have taken it down, though

Thanks Michelle Malkin!

About Matamoros

Darius — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 23:09:40 +0000

Chuck Sobietti was a seventeen-year veteran of the U.S. military. He’d seen it all - Gulf War I, Somalia, Bosnia, Afghanistan - but nothing in his experience could prepare him for one fateful day in Iraq and its aftermath.

Part political thriller, part war story, and part “classic” action comic book, Matamoros follows one of America’s heroes in the “Long War” - an ordinary guy who discovers that only extraordinary situations exist when the enemy is a protean entity which refuses to adhere to the laws of war or the laws of civilized nations.

Written by Sleet and Darius LaMonica, and illustrated by John Cox of the Cox & Forkum political cartoon team, Matamoros is the first comic book focusing on the U.S. military’s fight against radical Islamists.
