The Arctic Marauder by Jacques Tardi

4.0

Much like Adele Blanc-Sec, the Arctic Marauder has a nearly inexplicable ending. I don't know if I even have words for how confused I feel. So much happens in the background and is just sprung on us: oh, it's Christmas; oh, that gate was locked; oh, let's state the opposite of what was just implied; oh, you're evil now; oh, we have random accomplices...the list goes on. Granted, this could be due to the translation (the original is in French), but even despite the whirlwind turn of events and unexplained surprises, I really enjoyed this "icepunk" graphic novel. It's fun, and like Tardi's other work, wholly original. I recommend.
