Whiteout (Vol. 1), by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber

Whiteout is like a mix between The Hunt for Red October and CSI: Miami, with a dash of The Thing thrown in for good measure. US Marshal Carrie Stetko is exiled to Antarctica and charged with enforcing United States law at the bottom of the world.  And that’s when the bodies start piling up. Whiteout is a classic whodunit, developed by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber at the beginning of their careers. The series has been consolidated and republished by Oni Press. The simple–yet detailed–black and white drawings highlight the stark and unforgiving landscape that the story is set in. There are no men in tights or backpack helicopters in this one. Just a single US Marshal trying to do her job, seeking vindication in the process. A true classic of the genre.

This comic is recommended for Mature readers, ages 18 and up.
