Written by Brian WoodArt by Ricardo Burchielli
This month, Matty gets tortured and then has a chat with Parco Delgado's sister, who is one scary Grace Jones with piercings type. The army is escalating its activities in the DMZ, and Matty is looking for a new role for himself, as he comes to the realization that he is the best person to write the official historical record of what has been going on all these years.
I like how Wood is comparing the way Rose tortures Matty to the way he is torturing himself for his role in the destruction of the Parco nation in the wake of the nuclear explosion. Matty resumes his probably-doomed task of returning some dog tags to the American army, which has become an act of contrition or redemption for him.
As always, this is a great book, even if this issue was a pretty quick read.
