DMZ #39

The War Power story arc continues to raise the stakes in the DMZ, as Matty has to deal with the guy from the Free States army, and starts to get some idea of what the Chinatown Gold is really going to be used for.

There are a lot of changes going on with Matty right now, and I'm not sure where his character is headed. His hero-worship of, or devotion to, Parco Delgado seems to be waning pretty quickly, but it's not clear what Matty's going to do.

It was nice to see the characters that popped up at the end of the issue - I've wondered if we'd ever get back to them again, as I found them among the most intriguing aspects of the early issues of the series.
