DMZ 5 by Ricardo Burchielli, Brian Wood
3.0

This review is for the series as a whole. Overall this serious was just a constant level of OK, nothing really stood out as great and nothing really stood out as bad. I felt the series got off to a rocky start and it really took awhile for me to get behind Matty as a character. It felt to me the first couple of arcs where him just running around and yelling about how messed up everything. The series hit a high point for me with the arc surrounding the Delgado nation as Matty works through that election but then it's followed up with the completely stupid Warlord Matty stuff in the following arc and I thought the ending was pretty solid. The cast of supporting characters are decent but nothing noteworthy and the art is good and consistent through most of the volumes. I found the story compulsive and read through it all but I don't really know what will stick with me. The idea and themes were enough to reel me in and keep me around
