Written by Brian WoodArt by Riccardo Burchielli
DMZ is entering its final story arc, 'The Five Nations of New York', and it seems that peace may actually be coming to the DMZ. Most of the issue is narrated by our mysterious pirate radio broadcaster (I'm still hoping it's going to be Jennie One), who checks in on a number of the peace initiatives, such as Zee coordinating with the Red Cross, massive gun amnesties, and housing lotteries. If ever there is proof that Manhattan is recovering, it's that the real estate market is back...
Brian Wood tries to cover a lot of ground in this issue, although at the heart, we still have Matty Roth wrestling with his actions over the last few years, and trying to avoid being the pawn of the government. That aspect of the comic has become a little tired, to be perfectly honest, but I'm still curious to see just how Matty is going to land when this all ends.
Curiously, the cover posted on Vertigo's website (shown here) is missing the foreground of the published comic. It's not a spoiler - like all of John Paul Leon's images for this book, it's quite nice - and so I wonder why they removed it.
