Summary: Great story...
Review: Great story, intriguing characters, and a suspensful plot are only a few of the things that make this book so fun. The movie comes out next year also. Reese Witherspoon has the lead so that should be interesting. Check this book out!

Summary: Great cop story!
Review: I walked by this graphic novel many times at my local comic book store and grew ever more curious about it each time. It wasn't until I read Rucka's fantastic "No Man's Land" novelization, however, that I finally decided to buy "Whiteout." Well, all I can say is that I'm glad I did. "Whiteout" is a gritty, hardnosed, suspenseful cop story with true to life artwork (so much so, in fact, that I actually felt cold looking at some of the stark, icy drawings filling the pages). Rucka and Lieber are wonderful talents, without a doubt. I'd love to see their female Marshal teamed up in a crossover story with the Tommy Lee Jones Marshal from the Fugitive someday. "Whiteout" is highly recommended!

Summary: A truly amazing read. Great for non-comic readers as well!
Review: I was floored by just how good this was. great characters, great story, wonderful art. I read it in one sitting. What works about this book where so many comics and graphic novels fail (and why non-comic people don't always gravitate towards this medium) is characters. The author fleshes out some real-life folk in an unusual setting, and the illustrator carries it through. Once again, a great read and I highly reccomend it.

Summary: Great Character, Story & Setting
Review: This cinematic graphic novel rises above the herd with its excellent characterization, gritty crime plot, and the fascinating setting of research bases on the South Pole. The central character is US Deputy Marshal Carrie Stetko, who has been exiled to McMurdo Station after having killed a prisoner in her custody. As a rare year-round woman resident of the pole, Stetko has to be tough as nails to fend off the advances of the rough men. When a body is found, and five other men are missing, she is called upon to investigate. The investigation takes plenty of twists and turns, with plenty of action and suspense. Stetko emerges as a character you want to meet again (fortunately she does, in Whiteout: Melt), and the artwork transports you to a unique setting that oozes with danger.
