As DMZ is winding down the trademark hot topic of the week theme is receding into the background. We are moving from education to entertainment as we begin to wrap up the characters we have been following for so long.

This volume sees a back story for a supporting character and the reappearance of someone we thought gone for good. A third story sees a catch-up of what has been happening with Zee. There are some nice surprises and some questions answered.

The art is great with some really inspired palette choices making fantastic use of colour. This might be down to the addition of Martinbrough as co-artist. There are a lot of TV screen snippets giving us clues as to how it all began.

A solid Thumbs Up!
