DMZ #48

DMZ #48 brings Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli's gritty Vertigo series to part four of the "Hearts & Minds" arc, with a cover by John Paul Leon that pulls you right into the tension of the demilitarized zone. From a cluttered broadcast-style workspace — headphones, stacks of equipment, a glowing laptop — hands work frantically while a military helicopter hovers just outside the window against a hazy cityscape. It's an intimate yet unsettling composition that captures the series' recurring theme of information and survival coexisting amid conflict.
