DMZ #1

This volume collects the first five issues of Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli's acclaimed Vertigo series, set in a near-future America torn apart by a second civil war. The story follows freelance journalist Matty Roth as he becomes stranded in the demilitarized zone of Manhattan, a contested island caught between the U.S. government and the Free States forces. 'On the Ground' establishes the gritty, war-torn landscape and Roth's dangerous journey to document life in the DMZ.
