Comic Book Resources‘ Blog, Robot 6, gave Earth 2100 some love today, too! Jk Parkin had this to say about the project:

As Kevin mentioned yesterday, ABC News will present an environmental special called Earth 2100, which is hosted by Bob Woodruff and will feature a graphic novel-style sequences by Josh Neufeld, Sari Wilson, Joe Infurnari, George O’Connor, Tim Hamilton and Leland Purvis. The special runs tonight on ABC at 9 p.m. Eastern.

From Kamandi and Scout to “Old Man Logan,” comics have had a long history of detailing life after everything falls apart, and it’s pretty cool to see that ABC noticed.

Thanks, JK!

The centerpiece of the special, titled “Earth 2100,” will take the form of a first-person, fictional narrative by a 91-year-old woman born on June 2, 2009. While the special is peppered with scientist interviews, simulations and user-created videos about the potential effects of climate change, the bulk of the two-hour program will involve the narrator’s account of life in the year 2100, told using animated “graphic novel elements.”

Among the creators who contributed these comics-style elements are several members of Act-I-Vate, the prominent New York City-based webcomic collective, including Josh Neufeld (”A.D.: New orleans After The Deluge”) and Joe Infurnari (”Jersey Gods,” “The Process”).

Earth 2100 is finally here! Tonight at 9pm EST on ABC, Earth 2100, the two hour epic news event will broadcast. What I’ve seen of this is breathtaking and I would encourage all of you to see it.

Over the last few months I’ve had the privilege of working with the post-production team at GuerrillaFx to create animated Graphic Novel elements for a very special television project called Earth 2100 for ABC News. Illustrations by yours truly as well as those of my studiomate, George O’Connor and Deep6ers, Tim Hamilton and Leland Purvis were all used to create these animations. This two hour television event uses these illustrated segments to put a human face to the predictions made by experts about the changes to our civilization and our planet over the course of this century.
