In the near future, the United States has been plunged into a second civil war--Manhattan, or as it's now known, the DMZ, has become one of the most dangerous cities in the world, making it the perfect place for aspiring photojournalist Matty Roth to be. Picking up where DMZ Compendium One left off, the status quo's tossed out the window as Matty, back from his misadventure in Staten Island, finds Parco Delgado in office as provisional governor of the City of New York. But this only leads Matty to a remote and desolate section of the city. With no phone, no computer and no contact at all with any of his friends, what exactly is he doing there, and why? How and when will the world find peace? Find out in DMZ Compendium Two collecting DMZ #37-72.
