Two of America's most talented activists team up to deliver a bold and hilarious satire of modern environmental policy in this fully illustrated graphic novel. The U.S. government gives robot machines from space permission to eat the earth in exchange for bricks of gold. A one-eyed bunny rescues his friends from a corporate animal-testing laboratory. And two little girls figure out the secret to saving the world from both of its enemies (and it isn't by using energy-efficient light bulbs or biodiesel fuel). As the World Burns will inspire you to do whatever it takes to stop ecocide before it’s too late.
Press Reviews
As the World Burns
The Comics Journal
McMillan's expressive style, pared down to the basics and intensified over the years, allows for instant communication of thoughtful rage. . . a fast-moving page-turner.

…truths that make Al Gore's inconveniences pale in comparison.

Booklist
Razor-sharp critique packaged as cute-kid-and-funny-animal cartoon.
As the World Burns
Cleveland Free Times
Thought-provoking. What if it is true that our self-righteous recycling habits matter not at all, and are just a way for The Man to keep us down while feeling better about ourselves?
- Jo Stiegerwald
As the World Burns
Broward/Palm Beach New Times
In As The World Burns, satire bites through the sharp vampire-pointed teeth of McMillan's corporate overlords. . . initially, the graphic novel's underlying message may seem heavy-handed and

preachy, but the writing is so acutely entertaining that the message doesn't feel force-fed. . . Plus, the drawings are so darn cute.
As the World Burns
Slingshot
Jensen takes the complexity of anti-civilization philosophy and distills it down to one important message. If we can't stop destroying everything, soon we’ll have destroyed everything.
Experts
Visionary and honest, As the World Burns offer a compelling yet brutal assessment of the state of the planet—and the state of mind of its most destructive tenants. It is a great read, a groundbreaking volume of graphic literature and a political polemic of the first order.
-Ted Rall
We think our simple solutions to the Earth's problems are helping, but As the World Burns shows that they're just distracting us from the terrifying truth. Jensen and McMillan unflichingly confront these pressing issues, and their book is really funny, too....To a wild future!
