If you've been reading Antarctica up to this point, I would suggest you continue. There are some very interesting points being laid out in this issue that will for sure influence the decisions and consequences that will play out in future chapters. However, if you're just starting, I suggest you go back and read the first 5 issue story arc before jumping into this one. Not only will you be as enthralled by this story as I am, but you will find yourself understanding the impact that having a 7-year-old Hannah in a simulation entails in the overall landscape of the story.

ANTARCTICA #6 slows down the pace and increases the mystery when the next volume focuses on what happened to Jerome Curtis. Birks plants multiple seeds of mystery to build curiosity, and Robertss art is excellent. That said, the momentum from the previous issue is all but gone, replaced by substantial confusion about whats happening. Read Full Review
Emotional issue with shocking revelations of this story that mixes mystery with science fiction.
Art
It is very detailed, capturing facial expressions with a certain degree of hyperrealism, very reminiscent of the aesthetics of comics like Heavy Metal. The technological designs of the laboratories are mesmerizing.
Summary
Hannah remembers a Christmas full of mystery with her father, while she deals with grief.
