My first Rucka book - while completely satisfying, wasn't as taut as I was hoping for? But Carrie was a highlight. ( )

Even though I was slightly confused by some similarly-drawn characters, this was better than the Kate Beckinsale movie. But less bloody. ( )

Down in Antarctica every country has various scientists located at posts throughout the continent. When an American is found frozen and murdered in the middle of what used to be a camp Carrie Stetko a US Marshal is forced to investigate. Carrie was sent down to Antarctica because of an incident that occurred while she was transporting a prisoner. Her relationship with her supervisor is tennuous and he is asking the impossible of her in this investigation in the hopes that he can punish her when she fails. However Carrie is tough and manages to find the murder and discover the plot. What really makes this graphic novel stand out is the artwork. Antarctica is covered in snow and constatntly windy. The black and white artwork manages to show the movement of the wind and snow in a way that almost makes the reader feel cold. ( )

Whiteout illustrates the potential of the comics medium. The exoticism and foreboding of this bizarre environment is conveyed in a way that feels utterly real… yet puts no one in danger.
