On the Ground (1-3). I read this years ago, and I was relatively unimpressed. I think it may have been too topical / ripped-from-the-headlines. I liked it much more this time. Matty is a terrific character and his character arc is this first story is phenomenal. I'm really looking forward to seeing where the story of an embedded journalist working against the gov't goes from here ... [8/10]. 
 Shorts (4-5). "Ghosts" is an interesting look at the wider city, while "Crosstown" is a tense but ultimately shallow action story. Together, however, they serve to cement Matty's increasingly important place in the city, which is an interesting bit of growth [7/10]. 
 Body of a Journalist (6-10). This is another great story that really brings to a head the problems that we've already seen Matty having with the US gov't and his network -- and it does it with a high level of excitement and shock. When I originally read this series, I remember thinking it was slow, but now it feels totally compressed to me (dedecompressed?). [8/10]. 
 Zee, NYC (11). This is a nice character piece of Zee and also a great way to show off the history of the DMZ [7+/10]. 
 New York Times (12). Wood should be applauded for trying some really different here, but I just don't find much of this look into various aspects of New York City in the DMZ to be that interesting [5/10]. 
 The Deluxe edition is also a really nice artifact. The artwork is really vibrant at this size, on this stock. I also quite appreciated the interview Wood at the end. I'll definitely be continuing on with these Deluxe editions (despite giving up on TPBs at about this same place when I first read them!)
