Title: DMZ Vol. 11: Free States Rising

Author: Brian Wood

KDL Description:

New to our graphic novel collection is DMZ. This gritty series imagines America’s second Civil War, a war between what is left of the United States military and a loose collection of militias and gangsters. Manhattan is the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between these warring factions. The story follows Matty Roth, a young reporter caught in the crossfire. The art is spectacular and the action is intense.
