DMZ
Set in a near future where a second American civil war rages, a lone
journalist is stranded in the middle of New York City, now a brutal
no-man's-land. Mirroring current events, DMZ is an unforgiving look
at what a 'war on terror' can do to a civilian population.

"DMZ [is] the pre-eminent
example of a growing fashion for comics and graphic novels about,
or inspired by, the Iraq war." - The Independent
"A well-written combination of Sydney Pollack's "The Absence
of Malice" and HBO's "The Wire" - IGN
"DMZ is incredible. It is addictive and brutal... a perfect antidote
to the flag-waving Fox News broadcasts of the War on Terror"
- Chicago Sun-Times
"Wood and Burchielli gut-wrenchingly portray
the chaotic reality of life in a war zone." - The Washington
Post
"...so
smart, so thought provoking...the perfect mature comic... books like
DMZ are the future of the comic book industry" - IGN
"Wood and Burchielli's excellent series... equal parts compelling
drama and cautionary tale" - San Francisco Chronicle
"It examines the political without getting
preachy, and like good journalism it lays everything out for us- the
good, the bad, and the ugly, while exposing the humanity underneath.
There’s nothing else out there like it right now." - Pop Syndicate

BOOKS
LOCAL
"Megan McKeenan sits at the heart of these 12 interconnected
stories that are pulled together in the final two chapters into a
well-worked, cohesive novel. Each story is set in a very specific
North American place, from Portland, Oregon, to Richmond, Virginia,
to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Austin, Texas. In them, Megan is engaged
in the multifaceted journey of finding herself as well as in the physical
journey so many stops involve... Combining road saga, bildungsroman,
and existentialism, Local has something to suit the tastes of readers
who already like Capote, or Kerouac, or Albertine Sarrazin, and has
the potential for leading others to explore such more traditional,
equally nuanced storytellers." --Booklist

is] one of the most complete portraits of a person that I’ve read
not just in comics, but anywhere." - Bust Magazine

the last 3 years" - Blair Butler / G4TV
"Wood ingeniously sifts through the grit of the ugliest human
emotions and depicts relationships that rustle them to the surface."

THE NEW YORK FOUR
"As in Local and DMZ, indie superstar Wood shows great skill
in writing extremely appealing and occasionally infuriating female
leads. All four of the college freshmen at the center of this tale
are well realized, but it’s shy, sheltered Riley who is the focus
of this girlcentric offering. Riley’s life is packed with drama as
she meets up with her estranged older sister and struggles to balance
school, family, and a mysterious new boyfriend—whom she has never
met but texts to the point of obsession. Kelly’s art, filled with
expressive, idiosyncratic faces and figures... matches Wood’s affection
for the city..." --Booklist
