DMZ #70

Part four of "The Five Nations of New York" arrives with a cover that pulls no punches — a figure in a black PRESS vest is caught mid-struggle, a weapon raised threateningly overhead in a vivid wash of reds and raw, sketchy linework. John Paul Leon's cover art perfectly captures the dangerous tension that defines this Vertigo series, where journalism and survival are rarely separable. Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli's war-torn Manhattan has never felt more volatile.
