DMZ: Body of a Journalist

I have just finished reading the second volume of the brilliant DMZ and all I can say is wow! Anyone interested in graphic novels and comics should be reading this. No excuses!

The second volume continues to follow Matty as he finds his way around the DMZ.

Critics have been raving about this work, for example:

Warren Ellis called it "possibly the most groundbreaking work of 2006."

San Francisco Chronicle called it "equal parts compelling drama and cautionary tale ... inspired."

So do yourself a favour and get a copy and start reading it. What are you waiting for? And please keep your press pass with you at all times, it will save your life.

DMZ

DMZ by Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli is a gripping read set in the not to distant future.

Militias within the USA have declared war on the American Government, calling themselves the Free States. The two armies are sqaured of with the Free States army in New Jersey, and the United States army is massed in Brooklyn. This means that Manhatten has become the 'DMZ' in the middle.

Journalist Matty Roth finds himself as the only person in the DMZ with the ability to tell the real story of the DMZ, and this is where this amazing graphic novel begins. Wood has a fantastic storytelling style that brings his characters to life, while Burchielli's art is perfectly suited to the story.
