Snowpiercer - The Prequel: Extinction by Matz, Jean-Marc Rochette

abogguslife's review against another edition

2.0

I'm intrigued, but I was bored for most of the book. I was far too distracted by the fact that none of the characters were drawn in any form of motion/movement, including their mouths when they were speaking.

Love this movie so when I found out this was a graphic novel series I immediately added to my wish list.  I received an awesome surprise when I got the first book as a birthday gift.

I always wondered what causes the world to go barren and lifeless. This explains it.  Love the artwork as well. I also learned this was translated from French. I had no idea.

This will end up as one of my favorite series.

It's a good backstory to what happened in Snowpiercer without giving too much away. It does a great job of giving us factions in the before times that made the events of Snowpiercer possible. It's an excellent addition to the Snowpiercer canon although, on its own, a little confusing to digest.

The prequel put the icing on the cake for the first two volumes. How this monstrosity of a train is constructed and the selection of the passengers when signs of destruction are nearing.
