Unfortunately this volume doesn't go into much details about how the world got to be how it is, or even what the situation is outside the surrounds of Manhattan. Also, the final arc about the stolen jacket was completely uncompelling, especially given it's end. Maybe the next volume goes somewhere interesting with it, but it doesn't leave me wanting to out. Maybe it's the start of something interesting, but that depends a lot on what the next volume is like. I've had this on my shelf for ages, and finally got around to reading it. It was written 10 years ago, and in some ways it's obviously a product of its time -- the US is bogged down in overseas wars, and questions about the neutrality of journalists embedded with military forces are prominent -- but in other ways it's aged well. People living in "violent" neighborhoods (whether actual war zones or just poor) are still treated as disposable by occupying forces. Anti-government militias are even more of a thing than they were 10 years ago. I like that the story re-humanizes the people who get caught in the middle when wars are fought over their neighborhood. And that the way things are in "dangerous" neighborhoods is the result of rational choices people made to protect themselves, not just faceless "crime" and "violence". There are no easy answers in here, just more questions of what should be sacrificed, what should be protected. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In the near future, America's worst nightmare has come true. With military adventurism overseas bogging down the Army and National Guard, the U.S. government mistakenly neglects the very real threat of anti-establishment militias scattered across the 50 states. Like a sleeping giant, Middle America rises up and violently pushes its way to the shining seas, coming to a standstill at the line in the sand - Manhattan. Or, as the world now knows it, the DMZ. Matty Roth, a naive aspiring photojournalist, lands a dream job following a veteran war correspondent into the heart of he DMZ. Things soon go terribly wrong, and Matty finds himself lost and alone in a world he's only seen on television. There, he is faced with a choice: find a way off the island, or make his career with an assignment most journalists would kill for. But can he survive in this savage war zone long enough to report the truth? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The other thing that kept me from comics was a seeming lack of grown up subject matter. DMZ is definitely for grown ups. It looks at serious, relevant themes, and it tells the truth.
Very quickly, the idea is this: state militias have effectively seceded from the US, leaving the federal government sequestered on Long Island (of all places). Manhattan is the DMZ (demilitarized zone). If it sounds far-fetched, think of it as a thought experiment: New York City experiencing war the way Baghdad experienced the Iraq War. These books are about the New Yorkers and what they endure, caught between two 'nations' at war. ( )
