Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Readers might assume that they're watching a report from Baghdad as they see a suicide bomber massacring a ragged urban crowd gathered for a clean water distribution in this dark political satire. Actually, the scene is New York City, front line in a full-scale civil war between Free States rebels and the U.S. government. The main focus is Matty Roth, a kid who thought he was entering the city as mere assistant to a veteran reporter but who now finds himself an agonizingly "embedded journalist" with more power and responsibilities than he ever wanted. For Matty and readers, there's no longer any safe distance from the violence. At the same time, however, the residents of the DMZ feel unexpected, growing satisfaction at what they can do now that they've been violently freed from a government's sham protection, with only themselves to rely on. Wood's scripts present the characters' mingled pain and hope well, but Burchielli's outstanding art really sells the story by intensifying familiar urban grunge into a Third –World–like battle zone. He has a good sense of the city as a sniper-haunted landscape, from deserted streets to a maimed Statue of Liberty. This book is a disturbing, challenging success. (Feb.)

From Booklist

On the Ground (2006) established DMZ's premise: Manhattan is a demilitarized zone in a near-future war between the U.S. military and the antiestablishment Free Armies. Body of a Journalist delves deeper into life in the urban no man's land as protagonist Matty Roth serves as a go-between in efforts to free his former boss, a renowned journalist who's been kidnapped by the Free Armies. Wood's portrayal of the struggle to survive during wartime resonates in the current political climate, and Burchielli's artwork, like the devastated Manhattan it depicts, is stark and grungy yet exciting and compelling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost As Good As Vol. 1, June 2, 2007
By S. Blais (Davis,CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
DMZ is an amazing comic and I'm so glad I got into it. As fun as read the 2nd set for DMZ: Body of A Journalist, it just didn't strike me the way the first one did. By no stretch of the imagination am I saying it was bad, far from it. I gobbled up every page with my eyes as quick as possible, and was left wanting more. I enjoyed meeting the odd group of people in the first Volume more, even though the story in the second seems a little more fleshed out.
If you like reading DMZ Vol. 1, DMZ Vol. 2 will satisfy you just fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars This series is highly excellent!, March 16, 2007
Volume 2 is, if anything, better than Volume 1. How this came to pass is beyond my reckoning, but let me just say that Brian Wood can WRITE and Riccardo Burchielli has a difficult name to spell. Also, he can DRAW. Seriously, these guys bring a richly detailed world to life with gritty violence, complex characters, and highly topical political issues.

The storylines in this particular book delve deeper into the governmental involvement in the DMZ and give us a brief glimpse of the Free States fighters. And if the violence doesn't turn you on, I guarantee you that there is sex. Not enough? Someone's head gets shot with a bullet. Deal with it!

This volume wraps up with a recap of the places and people of the DMZ - literally a travellers guide to a warzone. Well worth the wait.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Comic, November 2, 2009
I bought the first Volume of DMZ out of curiosity, and quickly became addicted. This series is well thought, illustrated and written. I highly recommend it!

Not as compelling as book 1 but well above par. It falls victim to the guest artists or changing hands that many comics seem to face.
