Briggs Land Volume 1: State of Grace

Briggs Land, nearly a hundred square miles of rural wilderness, contains the largest antigovernment secessionist movement in the United States. When matriarch Grace Briggs wrests control of the operation from her incarcerated husband, she sparks a war within the community--and her immediate family--that threatens to bring the full power of the federal government down on their heads.

From acclaimed writer Brian Wood (The Massive, DMZ, Channel Zero) and artist Antonio Fuso (G.I. Joe, Judge Dredd) comes an electrifying crime saga unique to the post-9/11 world.

Praise for the previous work of Brian Wood:
"Much like DMZ, the glimpses of savagery [in The Massive] are unsettling because this world isn't as divorced from ours as we'd like it to be." -IGN

"Entertaining. Enlightening. Enrapturing. Buy this book!" (For Rebels #1) -ComicSpectrum

"Between [The Massive] and Saga, be happy that we're in the middle of a renaissance for sci-fi comics." -MTV Geek
