Over at COMICS ALLIANCE Felicia Day, actress and creator of the web series The Guild, references DMZ in an interview where she talks about the comics that first made her understand the beauty of the medium.
Here’s what Felicia had to say, "I had to read a lot of [graphic novels] before I started this comic to make sure I understood how characters come to life in this format versus the other formats I work with. It wasn't clicking until I finally read [Joss Whedon's] "Fray" and [Brian Wood's] "DMZ." Those were the two comics that really clicked, and I realized, oh, this is how it's done. It can be incredibly exciting -- you can't wait to turn the page and see what happens next, and the characters are alive."

Thanks Felicia!
"This issue changes everything..."
"After this nothing will be the same..."
"Everything you thought you knew about the DMZ changes now..."
You hear these kind of buzz statements all the time. But seriously? We mean it this time. It's not just buzz. I remember when Brian first pitched this idea to us a year ago. He said, "okay, this story arc 'Hearts and Minds' is going to put Matty through the ringer and just when he hits rock bottom we're going to drop a bomb on him..."
I didn't realize he meant literally. Check out that cover.
Big scary mushroom clouds are never a good thing.
This changes everything, folks. The next few years in the DMZ nothing will be the same and it all starts today with issue #49.
February 2010 brings much to be excited for by Brian Wood. DMZ and NORTHLANDERS will be reaching significant milestones and DEMO Vol. 2 begins!
DMZ will be celebrating 50 with an oversized collection of short stories gathered by rookie journalist Matty Roth and illustrated by numerous, and may I say fantastic, artists, while NORTHLANDERS will be celebrating 25 with part 5 of the timely and compelling new 8 issue arc 'The Plague Widow.'
Check out the covers:
DEMO Vol. 2 #1

NORTHLANDERS Volume 3
All is not quiet in the DMZ. The world struggles to come to grips with Parco Delgado's nuclear revelation, and while he's shooting hoops and avoiding the press, Matty is out there forging new alliances and advancing his own agenda. With spy planes flying overhead and rumors of search-and-destroy teams being deployed, how long can any of this last? Not even the city's own new media outlet, Radio Free DMZ, has the answers.
Check out a few pages from this exciting new issue #46:

DMZ #45 begins a five part arc full of nuclear weapons, Parco Delgado and Matty Roth's own agenda.
Following the tumultuous events of the past year, Matty Roth is redefining his role in the DMZ. No longer content to be merely a citizen journalist or a mouthpiece for Parco Delgado's struggling city government, he now rolls with his own private security force and self-defined mandate to heal the city.
