    It would be an understatement to say that I have loved this series so far, and I have to give Wood and Burchielli major kudos for a job well done. The only element of this issue I could have done without was the clichd ending, which seemed a little too neat to sum up this stand-alone story. However, if youre a fan of Vertigo or a comic book reader who loves a compelling, thoughtful story, you need to jump on this series NOW, before you cant find the first few issues. Read Full Review

    For me, this is the best issue of DMZ so far, but it seems like very much of an aberration in that regard; Im not confident that future issues will be more like this than the profoundly irritating first couple of episodes, but this issue at least is an entertaining read. Read Full Review

    I dont mean to sound too down on this issue, because the book as a whole still stands as a fairly original concept which holds a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the last couple of issues havent lived up to the standards of the first two, and I cant help but feel a little disappointed as a result. I hope that writer Wood returns to a more relatable urban environment next issue, as I feel that he has far more to say when dealing with the effects of war on a civilian population. This was an interesting little excursion into a slightly different arena, but it definitely doesnt stand as the strongest issue of DMZ so far. Read Full Review
