If you are a fan of the series this is one of my favourite books of the collection so far.we get to see a little more of the ghosts.

Meh.

With the third collection of DMZ comics it feels like the writing has really picked up steam after sagging a little in the second omnibus. The overriding narrative here is the rise of a populist leader who wants to make the DMZ a recognised power, independent of the US or the Free States. And in his wake our protagonist, the journalist Matty Roth, wrestles with jettisoning his journalistic impartiality to get behind the cause of justice... but it's not as simple as that, as he discovers. Do I need to say how closely the issues raised here bite, given the rise of Trump? DMZ is what happens when the chicken wars that the US has spent generations exporting around the world come home to roost. Something like that, or perhaps it's just easier to get behind a political slogan. I've got one: "Make DMZ Great Again!" Brian Wood and the crew have.
