In the near future, America's worst nightmare has come true. With military adventurism overseas bogging down the Army and National Guard, the U.S. government mistakenly neglects the very real threat of anti-establishment militias scattered across the 50 states. Like a sleeping giant, Middle America rises up and violently pushes its way to the shining seas, coming to a standstill at the line in the sand -- Manhattan or, as the world now knows it, the DMZ.
Matty Roth, a naïve young man and aspiring photojournalist, lands a dream gig following a veteran war journalist into the heart of the DMZ. Things soon go terribly wrong, and Matty finds himself lost and alone in a world he's only seen on television. There, he is faced with a choice: try to find a way off the island, or make his career with an assignment most journalists would kill for. But can he survive in a war zone long enough to report the truth?

No superheroes. No aliens. No power suits. This is a straight forward character book and a damn well written one at that. Yes it's about war, the second U.S.A. Civil War to be exact, but don't let the war aspect put you off of this book. The main character is very likable and the situations are realistic to the point of never really knowing what's coming next, a handshake or a headshot. I'll be buying the Volume 2 Deluxe Edition when it's released.

Having read all the paperback trades of this series I will say now having the first 12 issues in hardcover format is an absolute joy. The book is built well and although a bit larger that's not a bad thing as it really lets the gritty street art style of the book shine.
As for the story itself, comics do not get much better then this. A man who signs up to be an intern photographer finds himself the as the main reporter in the hottest on-again/off-again war zone in the country: Manhattan, NY. As much a love letter to NYC as it is a look at war, Brian Wood weaves a complex tale of what goes on behind the glossy images of war given to us by the media and government and shows what it's like to really live in a war zone and although deadly at times it's not all that bad all the time. A knowledge of the city itself only enhances the enjoyment of the book as streets, landmarks and slang are used constantly but even if you've never been Wood's main character learns about the inner workings of the city like you will so by the end of this first volume you will already have a rough sketch in your head about where things are and how to get around. I cannot heap enough praise on this title, it's one of the ones that got me into the medium when I was younger and now these deluxe editions are a great chance for everyone to finally get a feeling of what it would be like to have a modern battlefield in our own backyards.
