This link is an interview with Brian Wood who is the writer of the comic. He explains what helped him think of each character and what they will be doing and who they will be.What I found really interesting was when he says " Zee is the city. An individual embodiment of the city, the soul of the city, and I had been subconsciously writing her in that role for years before I saw it." Before I read this interview I never thought about it like that. But know that I think of it I do see how Wood made it so that Zee was the city. In the comic Matty meets Zee and that is the first person who he encounters. Zee explains to him that no one but the residents know what it is like to live there with a war going on. No one is actually correct with what they believe the residents are and what they believe. She tells Matty that she only lives there and that's it. She is trying to survive living in between a war looking for food and water, in a sense she was explaining what the city was going through and what it is like living in a place where a situation is going on. She was the guide and the way Matty had a chance to survive. -Alejandra Castellon

The DMZ comic by Brian Wood was featured on a post on the New York Times website. The people at the NY Times gave the comic a great review. Explaining in detail the base of the story, young journalist intern visiting the ruins of Manhattan after a second civil war has taken place. They speak on the author Brian Wood and how he came up with the idea of the comic. Brian Wood was born in Vermont, and then lived in San Francisco. However his true desire was to live in New York. Mr. Wood took his experiences from living in the city and applied it to the DMZ comic. He states that he "hates bringing up 9/11 because it feels like I'm using it as a marketing tool" but the scary events helped him apply realism into the comic. After the attacks he saw the chaos, and the military trucks, and he displays that a lot through out the comic when describing the new Manhattan. The article also brings up other comics and volumes that Brian Wood has authored, and saying that he sells about 15,000 copies per issue. He received great reviews from Entertainment Weekly and a writer in the New York Times book review. This is outstanding because DMZ is Brian Woods first comic in over 10 years. And although his hard work and dedication shows with every turn of the page, he ends his interview by saying "I'm in no rush to do it again" -Elle Deltejo Eng101.0806

DMZ: A Colorful Dream

=
In the comic book DMZ, a major war is happening in the city of New York, but fuck the story line. The coloring and art of the comic book is displayed in graphic details to blow our minds away. Dark pictures of guns and war scenes expel our minds to the battlefield with exception to the war torn streets. Because of the coloring by Jeromy Cox, we are placed in the middle of war where only our minds could imagine. Jeromy Cox states in DMZtheComic.com, **“I’m a powerful weapon in the industry” and** **“let the story shine, and don’t step in front of the art.”** These statements mean that the artist himself agrees with art and the structure of art within comic books. They scream violence and destruction which is greatness in comic books from artists like this. He also states that, **“Alan [Moore] throws so much into these full scripts, but Brian doesn’t do that. His scripts are fairly spartan. He does it right. One character per panel, saying one phrase, it invites collaboration and interpretation, in terms of inking and coloring, the whole process.”** He explains that his art goes perfect with the authors' words. They make this a great comic book with everything a fan needs to be entertained. While noticing Manhattan as a war torn scenery in the first couple of pages, we couldn't be more intrigued without the colorful artwork from Jeromy Cox, lead colorist of the comic book DMZ.======
