Whiteout: Melt by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber
Wow. I’d forgotten how good this graphic novel was. I thought the first Whiteout was a good mystery, crime and spy thriller. Whiteout: Melt is excellent, one of those rare sequels that outdoes the original. US Marshal Carrie Stetko is called in to investigate a fire at a Soviet base. Danger and intrigue ensue:
Carrie Stetko, WHAT are you THINKING? You’re in an emergency shelter, in a storm, in the middle of Wilkes Lane in East Antartica…blackmailed by your government into finding three pocket nukes stole from Russians by Russians…working with a Russian agent who you’ve been ordered to betray if you get the opportunity…and who will probably do the same to you… you’ve nearly died twice today…and you’re thinking about THAT?
