Reviews

"Continue[s] what is so awesome about Snowpiercer: Its social consciousness; its juxtaposition of brutal necessity and a high-tech environment; and its thoughtful, downbeat vibe." - The Post Charlotte Sun


Praise for the Snowpiercer Series:


"One of the most celebrated sociopolitical tales in comics." -IGN

"Snowpierceris unlike anything Ive read. The premise alone is enough to attract readers and the themes and issues are still relevant. Its a great, compelling look at humanity and its treatment of class difference." - Major Spoilers

"Left me breathless...Jean-Marc Rochettes illustrations are flawless. 5/5" - Den of Geek

"Fantastic writing and gritty art, and though it debuted in 1982, it still feels fresh some 30 years later." - The Verge

"Dystopian scifi at its best...a marvellous entry into the genre, and one of Europe's finest comics works." - io9

"An absolutely fascinating read from cover to cover, "Snowpiercer: The Escape" is one of those dystopian science fiction stories that is all too plausible given today's political polarization, increasingly rapid climate change, and humanities undeniable contribution to the increasing extinction rates of flora and fauna species globally. " -Midwest Book Review
