Collecting the first 12 issues of the series about the ultimate embedded
war journalist trapped in a most unlikely war zone: the streets of New York
City.
In the near future, America's worst nightmare comes 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 naive 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? Collects
issues #1-12 of the original monthly series.
