DMZ Book Five

Brian Wood and artist Riccardo Burchielli's DMZ was one of DC Vertigo's longest-running series, and the final arc to the saga is here in DMZ Book Five, now in paperback.

The final year of DMZ begins here! After six years of adventures--and misadventures--across the DMZ, Matty Roth's story is near its end in the last volume of Brian Wood's acclaimed series.

Revisit the origins of this Second American Civil War and see just how a dangerous idea can ripple through a population and result in one of the most infamous wars in world history. The Free States army, equally vilified as insurgents and praised as patriots, gains more and more ground as the fabric of American society comes apart. Finally stopped at the Hudson by veteran U.S. troops, the glittering prize of the city of Manhattan is rapidly reduced to a war-torn slum, a.k.a the DMZ.

Brian Wood presents the final stories of the unforgettable DMZ series in DMZ Book Five. Collects DMZ #60-72.
