Dark Rain - Mat Johnson & Simon Gane
Another excellent graphic novel. This is the story of a bank heist during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. It's a good story well-told, and well drawn too, in (mostly) black and white, with lots of detail but without ever becoming cluttered or hard to take in (even when depicting the detritus and chaos). I like the way it keeps musings, mourning and tributes and all the other things you'd expect in a story about this incident, to a minimum. It's there but it's never allowed to get in the way of the story. It remains a story.
