Journalist Matty Roth has been working and living in the DMZ long enough to have become influential both in the DMZ and in the world outside. In this latest issue, a cease-fire is issued so that an election can get underway. Matty is putting his faith in the Delgado Nation, supported by the vast majority of those living in the DMZ. Unfortunately, the powers that be are not too keen on seeing Delgado coming into power and efforts are made to silence both the candidate and elections. Enter Matty's mother as Delgado's campaign manager, much to Matty's surprise and chagrin. She appears to be completely out of her element in the DMZ, but proves herself to be an exceedingly effective campaign manager.

kinda whizzed through this one. maybe too fast. not sure i like where the story line is heading, but we shall see. as always, the art is amazing, the mood, the pacing... its all there.
will reread. feel like there were holes in the story.

Unfortunately I'm starting to... not exactly lose interest in DMZ, but lose a desire to follow it... I want to know where this story goes, but the characters are starting to lose my interest. Matty is less of a somewhat naive hero and has made several questionable decisions that I couldn't relate to or empathize with. His friend/girlfriend is as disgusted with him and his choices as I am.
It's not that the book isn't raising interesting comparisons, but by following recent history SO closely it doesn't leave much opportunity to think.
Meh.

Free elections in the DMZ? Power to the people? Return to the main storyline.

DMZ is back on track with the Vol. 6 TPB. A war-time election storyline dominates, with the USA, Free States, and local leader Parco Delgado all vying for votes. Matty Roth's dissatisfaction with his role as an impartial, disinterested journalist also comes to the fore. As always, Brian Wood explores some interesting stuff here without being too preachy. This volume still lacks a certain something that was present in the earlier volumes, but I can't quite articulate what it is (helpful, I know).
