NEW YORK... též známý jako Země nikoho, uprostřed druhé americké občanské války. Nezkušený fotoreportér Matty Roth je na místě a slouží jako osamělý hlas zdejších obyvatel zoufale zápasících o přežití uprostřed nejnebezpečnější válečné zóny celé planety. Ve SKRYTÉ VÁLCE se pozornost odvrací od politiků a vojáků v první linii – upírá se na obyvatele města, obyčejné civilisty vystavené těm nejhorším představitelným podmínkám, kteří se po celou tu dobu pokouší hlavně přežít. SKRYTÁ VÁLKA je neodmyslitelnou součástí příběhu DMZ a je vyprávěna prostřednictvím šesti povídek, v nichž se seznámíte s novými postavami a potkáte pár starých známých. Scenárista Brian Wood a výtvarník Riccardo Burchielli nám opět přinášejí DMZ, o níž kritika napsala, že je „fascinující... spojuje v sobě napětí letního filmového trháku s hrůzami války a dávkou sociální a politické kritiky“ (USA TODAY) a „sveřepě rozzlobená a krutá, chytrá a šokující“ (BOING BOING). Tentokrát nás zavedou na nepřátelské území, aby nám odhalili skrytou cenu války: civilní oběti.
A blistering take on media control in a repressive future America! DMZ and The Massive creator Brian Wood launched an all-out assault on the comics medium in 1997 with Channel Zero, an influential, forward-thinking series that combined art, politics, and graphic design in a unique way. Touching on themes of freedom of expression, hacking, cutting-edge media manipulation, and police†surveillance, it remains as relevant today as it did back then. The Channel Zero collection contains the original series, the prequel graphic novel Jennie One (illustrated†by Becky Cloonan), the best of the two Public Domain design books, and almost fifteen years of extras, rarities, short stories, and unused art. Also featuring the now-classic Warren Ellis introduction and an all-new cover by Wood, this is the must-have edition. See where it all began!
