Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Readers might assume that they're watching a report from Baghdad as they see a suicide bomber massacring a ragged urban crowd gathered for a clean water distribution in this dark political satire. Actually, the scene is New York City, front line in a full-scale civil war between Free States rebels and the U.S. government. The main focus is Matty Roth, a kid who thought he was entering the city as mere assistant to a veteran reporter but who now finds himself an agonizingly "embedded journalist" with more power and responsibilities than he ever wanted. For Matty and readers, there's no longer any safe distance from the violence. At the same time, however, the residents of the DMZ feel unexpected, growing satisfaction at what they can do now that they've been violently freed from a government's sham protection, with only themselves to rely on. Wood's scripts present the characters' mingled pain and hope well, but Burchielli's outstanding art really sells the story by intensifying familiar urban grunge into a Third –World–like battle zone. He has a good sense of the city as a sniper-haunted landscape, from deserted streets to a maimed Statue of Liberty. This book is a disturbing, challenging success. (Feb.)

From Booklist

On the Ground (2006) established DMZ's premise: Manhattan is a demilitarized zone in a near-future war between the U.S. military and the antiestablishment Free Armies. Body of a Journalist delves deeper into life in the urban no man's land as protagonist Matty Roth serves as a go-between in efforts to free his former boss, a renowned journalist who's been kidnapped by the Free Armies. Wood's portrayal of the struggle to survive during wartime resonates in the current political climate, and Burchielli's artwork, like the devastated Manhattan it depicts, is stark and grungy yet exciting and compelling.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After graduating from the prestigious Parsons School of Design, Brian Wood spent several years in video game design with Rockstar Games, most notably for the Grand Theft Auto franchise before moving full time into writing. Brian’s comic book work has been published by DC Entertainment, Marvel Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse, Boom! Studios, and others.

His original graphic novels are some of the most influential in comics. Starting with Channel Zero, his street activist call-to-arms, Brian has unapologetically made politics and socially conscious thrillers the center of his career. His DMZ defined comics’ response to the war on terror. The Massive took on climate change and next-gen environmentalism. Briggs Land, the crime saga set on a secessionist compound, tackled the scourge of the alt right. Starve is about food sustainability and class divide.

His historical fiction has similarly blazed a singular trail. Northlanders, his Viking anthology, set a benchmark in the comics industry. Rebels, his populist American Revolution anthology, is on the curriculum of schools across the country. Sword Daughter is a pulpy Samurai/Norse mashup, and Magnus Black, the brutal fixer in Black Road, is a Jack Reacher for the dark ages.

His YA books Demo, Local, Mara, and The New York Four have made YASLA and New York Public Library best-of lists. He’s also written for some of the biggest franchises in pop culture, including Star Wars, Aliens, Terminator, RoboCop, and the X-Men.

He co-wrote the award-winning video game 1979 Revolution: Black Friday and contributed story material to Fox’s upcoming Alien shooter.

He’s written TV pilots for AMC, Team Downey and Sonar Entertainment, and WV Enterprises. His DMZ is currently in production at HBO Max with Ava DuVernay directing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This series is highly excellent!

Volume 2 is, if anything, better than Volume 1. How this came to pass is beyond my reckoning, but let me just say that Brian Wood can WRITE and Riccardo Burchielli has a difficult name to spell. Also, he can DRAW. Seriously, these guys bring a richly detailed world to life with gritty violence, complex characters, and highly topical political issues.

The storylines in this particular book delve deeper into the governmental involvement in the DMZ and give us a brief glimpse of the Free States fighters. And if the violence doesn't turn you on, I guarantee you that there is sex. Not enough? Someone's head gets shot with a bullet. Deal with it!

This volume wraps up with a recap of the places and people of the DMZ - literally a travellers guide to a warzone. Well worth the wait.

4.0 out of 5 stars Series has promise, but not quite there yet
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2008
Volume 2 of the Brian Wood/Riccardo Burchielli Vertigo series DMZ is a step up from the first, offering a clearer focus, better stories and a stronger exploration of the series' premise, but I still can't help but feel that Wood & Co aren't quite there.

I'd LIKE it to get there. The premise is fantastic. An America at war with itself? A new Civil War with New York City as the backdrop? Sounds awesome. I wish it actually lived up to its promise.

The characters are shallower than an inflatable kiddie pool - I've spent 12 issues with Matty Roth and Zee, and feel like I barely know them - and the dialogue lacks life and punch. It's a string of profanities without character or personality. Sure, Wood CAN feature raw language (it's a Vertigo title, after all), but if it's not adding anything to the characters or story, drop it.

And it's not adding anything to the characters or story.

Still, if I'm complaining don't let that be an indication that I didn't enjoy this. I did. The second volume of DMZ was a big step up from the first. There is a good story arc here centering on corruption, propaganda, and manipulating the media to influence public opinion. Some very solid themes here that could have used more exploitation, but nonetheless were enjoyable to read. We've got some new characters, some political intrigue, betrayals and double-crossings, and the sense that something larger is at work. It took a while, but we start to tap into the series' potential. We get into some ideas and some (at times too overt) political commentary.

I like that. I like that especially because I hate to see great potential go to waste.

3.0 out of 5 stars developing an arc

The second collection of DMZ continues with this excellent volume. Whilst the first volume focused on setting up the stage for our young protagonist, this volume fills in some of the character, and the DMZ world's back story. This volume is also more of a coherent and integrated story arc than the previous volume, with the whole volume focused on the kidnapping of a journalist in the DMZ. No, it's not our hero, but it some one we've met before.

Also included in this vloume is a extra section detailing the back story of Zee is very welcome, she's an excellent and complex character how deserves the screen time she's getting.

The continued parrellels with the American Military occupation of Iraq, and lifes (and deaths) of Journalists in that warzone, give this story a timely relevency.

Cette note est égale à la somme d'un auteur de génie, Bryan Wood, qui cumul chef d'oeuvre sur chef d'oeuvre et d'un dessinateur italien au sommet de son art. Dans cette épisode, l'apport des photos de Matty à la fin du volume nous immerge complètement dans cette univers post-apocalyptique ou les idées de deux parties s'affrontent sur une "Suisse" de plus en plus à la merci des sois disant héros de l'humanité. Cette corrélation implicite entre un média, que le lecteur doute de plus en plus de sa véracité et la "vie" au sein de cette communauté, de plus en plus attachante complète cette immersion et s'ajoute au points positifs de cette "oeuvre d'art". Rien ne m'a déplu dans cet ouvrage et je le conseillerai à tout les férus du journalisme fictionnel.
