Softcover Edition of the first Prequel to the critically acclaimed Snowpiercer graphic novel, by original artist Jean-Marc Rochette!
The Snowpiercer saga continues with this brand-new story by original artist Jean-Marc Rochette and Eisner nominated writer, Matz.
Set before the extinction event that caused the new ice age in which the Snowpiercer travels perpetually around the globe, witness the terrifying events that led to the need for and creation of the eponymous train.
Snowpiercer: The Prequel Vol 1 - Extinction is equal parts philosophy and art with a dash of terror thrown in for good measure. This is such a fast paced, whip smart book that readers who know nothing about the movie or TV series will want to rush out and watch it and those who have, will have a lot of Ah-ha moments. It has made me want to desperately read the original series, about which I knew very little until this. If you are just coming at this with fresh eyes or if you are an old veteran of the series, this is a welcome edition to the universe. I am buying my ticket for more Snowpiercer. Read Full Review
Snowpiercer: Extinction sets up the world and ideas leading to Snowpiercer and the many people working against humanity in its last throes of life. And while it would be nice to see more animated characters to better express the dread and doom hanging over everyones heads, the creative team nevertheless provides a great prelude to the original series.

It wasn't perfect and I did find that there were some moments where the story felt a little forced and not especially as riveting as other parts, but overall I had a very good time with this, and look forward to reading the second part when it's released. Read Full Review
