Matty Roth Gets His Fingers Dirty

Finally, Matty is becoming a muckraker instead of just playing the accidental journalist. I was starting to wonder when he was going to start digging instead of happening into a story.

What else can I say, great story, great art, characters are getting deeper (is there going to be some jealous lover syndrome sometime soon?). My only regret is that I read it too fast.

just a little better than previous volumes

One good thing about this one is that the main character, the journalist Matty, gets more meat on his bones - he's not the one-dimensional character who only guides the reader along images expressing the tragedy of war. He now becomes the journalist HERO (he should've become that two volumes ago), something that american readers would appreciate. Another element loved by the american audience is the emphasis on a terrorist cell and a lovely lady who acts as a suicide bomber.

Getting closer to present day political issue, Brian Wood's story becomes a little more relevant. Still, his characters are far from developed and almost everything i complained about in my first volume review is still here.

Brian Wood continues to wow

I you have enjoyed Brian Wood's DMZ to date this volume will be no different. Riccardo Burchielli's art continues to be strong with its gritty landscapes and strong emotion. Wood has effectivly created the landscape of post-secession New York City and is now digging into the details of this environment he has deftly crafted.

If you are a fan of stories about the "not so distant future" you will enjoy this story.

DMZ Vol. 3 lost in place

The first two volumes were brilliant with all the details, characters and a true sense of place for the DMZ. But this loses it. Motivations are weak and all it seem to want to say is the contractors are bad guys. I could care less about the 'cell" and the people in it. They never came alive as people. The DMZ has lost it's direction with this one.

If Vol. 4 isn't better, it won't get any more of my coin...

Having neglected the threat of anti-establishment militias, the U.S. government is in danger of losing control. Middle America has violently risen up, coming to a standstill at Manhattan or, as the world now knows it, the DMZ. Matty Roth, an aspiring photojournalist for The Liberty News, lands a dream gig following a veteran war journalist into the heart of the DMZ. Things soon go terribly wrong and Matty finds himself lost and alone in a world he's only seen on television.

In this volume, Matty severs his ties to The Liberty News and becomes a free agent. He soon finds himself in over his head as he goes undercover and infiltrates a terrorist cell determined to disrupt any and all construction sites trying to rebuild the city.
