Oh hey there, Moral Event Horizon! Guess we won't be needing to stay on this side of you any more!Yeah, this is quite meh. I don't really care about Delgado Nation Matty Roth. He's just another warlord. Part of the appeal of DMZ was the was that it was written from a subordinate perspective, that it was about the people who war happens to rather than those who do it. That kinda goes out the window when your main character's one of the soldiers. First story arc is pretty depressing, but still very compelling & well-written. It only hints at things that I'm struggling to understand - which is frankly a treat in comics, especially when the character's voice is very clear and well spoken. The second storyline feels like Wood has pulled the rug out from under us and created a no-turning-back conflict, something that dooms our friends in the DMZ for eternity. I'd often hoped through this series that there could be some moment when it all "got better", but I don't know how that would be possible now.And I'm not sure I know whether I like this book more or less because of it. But I know one thing - I've *got* to read the next one to find out the repercussions, and storytelling that compelling doesn't happen every day. So congrats Brian Wood - you've still got me hooked, which I guess was the point.
What do You think about DMZ, Vol. 8: Hearts And Minds (2010)?
The twistiest volume yet, with shocking story changes seemingly every page.
