He's not Spider Jerusalem, a seasoned writer banging out these op-ed columns under contract, but rather a total rookie who lucked into this situation and is trying to make something out of it. "Matty's become a journalist by default, " Wood explained. Matty experiences tremendous difficulty with his lifestyle
Volume 2, "Body of a Journalist" was released this month, and CBR News hooked up once again with writer Brian Wood to talk about the book, his return to comics illustration, and what real life personalities and events informed the compelling "DMZ" saga. Since its 2005 debut, "On the Ground," (which CBR News covered in an article by Dave Richards), the Vertigo title has quickly become both a fan and critical favorite, earning props for its slice-of-life characters, scathing satire, quirky humor, evocative artwork, and its stark portrayal of every day life in a realistic urban war zone. "DMZ" is created and written by Brian Wood, known for underground hits like "The Couriers" and "Demo," and illustrated by Italian artist Riccardo Buchielli. After a year of reporting in the DMZ with nothing but a camera, a cellphone, and an inescapable urge to tell the truth, Matty's landed the scoop of a lifetime: an interview with the leaders of the Free Armies themselves.
All accept Matty Roth, the naive and idealistic young intern.
