Matty Roth redefines his role in the DMZ, rolling with a private security force and self-defined mandate to heal the city. But is this the start of a brand-new day – or will this "Rise of Matty" end with the fall of just another petty warlord? Collects DMZ #42-49!
----------
When Matty Roth first crash-landed in the DMZ, he was essentially handed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to document the city under siege with a classic journalist's objectivity. Instead, he's allowed himself to blur the lines to the point of no return, to fall in with politicians and opportunists, warlords and mercenaries. Having helped secure an election and fund an army, he commits perhaps the worst offense to date: trafficking in weapons of mass destruction on behalf of the newly elected Delgado regime.
"Hearts and Minds" brings the storyline of the past two years to a harrowing conclusion, in a way ensuring that nothing is sacred, no one is safe, and the unimaginable can indeed happen on American soil.
This volume also includes the short story "No Future," illustrated by Ryan Kelly, tracking down the urban legend of the cult of mercenaries occupying the Empire State Building as one man struggles to sift through the chaos and violence to find some clarity of purpose.
