DMZ Vol. 9: MIA is on sale now

Written by BRIAN WOOD with cover by JP Leon DMZ Volume 9: M.I.A. takes Matty to a remote and desolate section of the city. Self-exile forces him to take a good, hard look at himself and his conduct since he entered the DMZ, and he doesn't like what he's seeing. His discovery presents him with an opportunity that he's tempted to take, but is the price too high?

This volume collects the awesome issue #50 with short stories with art by Rebekah Isaacs, Jim Lee, Fabio Moon, Ryan Kelly, Lee Bermejo, Riccardo Burchielli, Philip Bond, John Paul Leon, Eduardo Risso and Dave Gibbons as well as issues 51-54 with art by Riccardo Burchielli.

Graphic Content posted some pages from issue 50 here and here; take a look inside.

DMZ hits #50?

On Wednesday, we teased a few images from a project Jim Lee, Rebekah Isaacs, Fabio Moon, Ryan Kelly, John Paul Leon, Lee Bermejo, Philip Bond, Eduardo Risso and Dave Gibbons are all working on for Vertigo in 2010. Well, if they piqued your interest, you’ll be happy to know, (if you haven't guessed already or were sly like CBR/ROBOT 6), they’re from DMZ #50. That’s right, I said 50. Can you believe it? In February we'll be celebrating this milestone with an amazing issue which includes 5 self contained stories and 5, what I'll call, character studies.

Here are a couple more sneak peeks. Enjoy!

So the great part of being an editor is that you never know what will pop up in your inbox on any given day. the below are just a few of the super cool surprises that I received in the past few days. I won’t pick a favorite...but don’t let that stop you!

-- whos that girl on demo #3? if you’re at all like me, you write everything on post-it notes. I thought I was obsessive about it...until I read this issue of the brand-new DEMO series (issue #1 drops in FEBRUARY!)
