DMZ #18

A new storyline starts in this issue titled friendly fire. This time Matt is out of the DMZ to cover the Day 204 Massacre in the ongoing war. Most of the storyline involves the journey of a Private Stevens who is being interviewved by Matt. As it is, Stevens was plunged into the war nobody wants to fight. At the beginning the story kind of slow but gradually builds up until the day of the massacre event.

Honestly i didn't expect it to happen so sudden. As private Stevens explains it, on the day of the event, it was raining heavily and a bunch of him and other guys was seeking shelter. Then out of nowhere hundreds of people in raincoat came marching by them ignoring them as if they weren't there. It is not clear now whether they were the opposing force or not. As the group march further up, Stevens started imagining things like blood on the streming through the ground. Stevens got up and ran towards the group and stopped one of them and as he reached for something in his jacket pocket, Stevens freaked and shouted he has a weapon and starts firing. So that is how the basic of how the massacre happened and the group that was killed was supposed to be anti war protestors. And the soldiers misfiring on the civillians are to stand trial which should be in the next issue.

Best action: The faces on the soldiers as they were overwhelmed by the number of the unknown group not knowing which side they are on.
Best twist: The way the massacre actually happened.
