Selected Reviews
"Josh Neufeld is a master storyteller. A.D. is intimate and yet seismic in its scope. Through seven finely drawn lives, we end up with new understanding of both devastation and redemption. His art takes us to the depth of the humanity of those we cherish."
— Cornel West"Who'd have thought that after watching all that video we'd come upon a fresh visual way to experience Hurricane Katrina? Josh Neufeld's drawings — and his tender, dead-honest dialogue-brought it all back in a way that made me feel it in my gut."
— Dan Baum, author of Nine Lives: Death and Life in New Orleans"A.D. is raw and painful — down to the detailed depictions of ruined homes and the frenzied dialogue among friends. . . . For many New Orleanians, the story hits all too close to home."
— Newsweek"American Splendor artist Neufeld beautifully depicts the lives of seven New Orleans residents who survived Hurricane Katrina. . . . Neufeld's low-key art brings a deeply humanizing element to the story. Though the devastation caused by the hurricane and the government's lackluster response are staggering, Neufeld expertly underscores the resilience of the people who returned to rebuild their lives and their city."
— Publisher's Weekly (Starred)"[A.D. is] bristling with attitude and pungent with social awareness."
— Kirkus"Neufeld is one of my favorite reporters and observers in the world of comics, and [A.D.] may be his masterwork."
— Rob Clough, "High-Low," Sequart.com"It took Josh Neufeld only 13 panels to storyboard New Orleans' worst nightmare."
— Gambit Weekly"Referring to A.D. or one of Joe Sacco's illustrated memoirs as a 'comic book' is a bit like calling Schindler's List a 'talkie.'"
— The Los Angeles Times
"[A.D.]'s stirring images are sure to linger in memory, perhaps even longer than hours of news footage already have."
— The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Accessible, informative and beautifully drawn, . . . Josh Neufeld's moving webcomic tells the true story of hurricane victims in New Orleans."
— USA Today's "PopCandy"
"A.D. manages to capture the mixture of fear, uncertainty and oncoming dread that Katrina wrought on an unsuspecting city."
— The Toronto Star
