DMZ #24 "Amina" @ CBR
DMZ #24 (Vertigo/DC Comics)
A few issues back, Matty Roth saved the life of a girl who didn’t want to be saved, and now she’s trying to do something, anything to make a sane existence for herself in virtually impossible circumstances. While just trying to get some food, she gets pressured into the brinksmanship of a local warlord and that doesn’t end up going anywhere that could be considered good. Wood’s bleak script doesn’t pull any punches in showing the unpleasant realities for women in this dystopian wasteland, caught between the threat of violence and the consequences of choices, and as always Ricardo Burchielli’s Manhattan is as tragic as it is beautiful. link
