DMZ #23

DMZ #23 brings the "Decade Later" story arc to Vertigo's gripping series about a war-torn Manhattan, with Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli continuing their collaborative vision from November 2007. Wood's cover — rendered in a striking palette of greens, blacks, and deep reds — centers on a stoic figure wearing a respirator mask around his neck, framed against a glowing cityscape silhouette with graffiti swirling in the background. It's a bold, atmospheric image that captures the series' street-level tension perfectly, and the bonus free preview of The Vinyl Underground tucked inside makes this one a particularly generous package.
