Here's an interesting interview with "Whiteout" artist Steve Leiber. The move came out last week, but got mediocre reviews. The graphic novel, however, is truly awesome. It came out more than 10 years ago, and is well worth checking out. This is one of those comics I remember, even though it's been more than a decade, without having to find it buried in the pile and think, "Oh yeah! That was awesome!"
It's the first thing I ever saw from writer Greg Rucka, who has gone on to more fame and fortune in comics and elsewhere.
Here's the summary from Amazon.com (I am too lazy to summarize it myself):
You can't get any further down than the bottom of the world - Antarctica. Cold, desolate, nothing but ice and snow for miles and miles. Carrie Stetko is a U.S. Marshal, and she's made The Ice her home. In its vastness, she has found a place where she can forget her troubled past and feel at peace... Until someone commits a murder in her jurisdiction and that peace is shattered. The murderer is one of five men scattered across the continent, and he has more reason to hide than just the slaying. Several ice samples were taken from the area around the body, and the depth of the drilling signifies something particular was removed. Enter Lily Sharpe, who wants to know what was so important another man's life had to be taken for it. But are either of the women prepared for the secrets and betrayals at the core of the situation?
