After a manic month of writing and drawing (and only a couple of days behind schedule), I’ve completed the first chapter of A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge. In chaper 1, we meet our five protagonists — Leo, Kevin, Hamid, Denise, and The Doctor — and follow their pre-Katrina preparations. You can read Chapter 1 (as well as the two-part prologue) for free right now on SMITH Magazine.
