In the near future, America's worst
nightmare has come true. With military adventurism overseas bogging
down the Army and National Guard, the U.S. government mistakenly
neglects the very real threat of anti-establishment militias scattered
across the 50 states. Like a sleeping giant, Middle America rises
up and violently pushes its way to the shining seas, coming to a
standstill at the line in the sand — Manhattan or, as the world
now knows it, the DMZ. Matty Roth, a naïve young man and aspiring
photojournalist, lands a dream gig following a veteran war journalist
into the heart of the DMZ. Things soon go terribly wrong, and Matty
finds himself lost and alone in a world he's only seen on television.
There, he is faced with a choice: try to find a way off the island,
or make his career with an assignment most journalists would kill
for. But can he survive in a war zone long enough to report the
truth?

NORTHLANDERS:
NORTHLANDERS: Sven The Returned
(series 1)
by Brian Wood and Davide Gianfelice w/ Massimo Carnevale
Published by DC/Vertigo, 2007--
buy
“At the end of Europe’s
first millennium stand the heroes who’ll define the next.”
Culture war. Technological revolution. Fear of the end of the world.
Sound familiar? It should. But it’s not the world of 2007…it’s
the world of Europe, circa 1000 AD. NORTHLANDERS tells the epic
tale of SVEN, an exiled Viking warrior who’s been living the
decadent, high life in Constantinople but now must return to the
desolate lands of his birth in the frigid islands of the North Sea
to reclaim his vast inheritance. Intending only to take his money
and run, he finds more than he bargained for as his former family
and friends are enslaved at the hands of Gorm, his ruthless uncle.
What follows is a bloody quest to not only free his people, but
also a young man’s struggle to discover where he belongs in
a rapidly changing world.

by Brian Wood and Brett Weldele
Published by AIT, 2002
ISBN: 0970936028 | buy
Starring characters from Brian
Wood's COUSCOUS EXPRESS, the sleeper hit graphic novel of 2002,
THE COURIERS is a fast-paced action-adventure comic set in New York
City, featuring Moustafa and Special: mercenary couriers. They do
the work the normal couriers are only barely aware of: intelligence,
large cash transfers, protection, assassinations, blockade-running...
you name it. But there is one job they always knew they would refuse,
known as a "biologic." But when the package turns out
to be a young deaf/mute girl from Nepal, with a gone-rogue Chinese
Red Army Brigade hot on her heels, how can they NOT get involved?
THE COURIERS is a pure action movie on paper.
