About this episode

The episode discusses the graphic novel DMZ and its television adaptation, along with a film that offers a proper take on the source material.

We look at DMZ, the story of life in the midst of a modern civil war written by Brian Woods with art mostly by Riccardo Burchielli. It's a story with a clear sense of place and some very intriguing characters so naturally it was adapted into a soulless television series in 2022. We discuss both of those as well as the movie that essentially is a proper take on this source material. Listen, share and don't forget to email us at vertigovoices@gmail.com
