Comics I Really Like

Whiteout

Whiteout came out in 1998. Just recently, (July) Oni came out with Whiteout: Definitive edition. I haven't seen any reviews except for Matthew Brady's over at Warren Peace Sings the Blues. By the way Matthew Brady is many favorite comic's blogger and anyone looking for a good blog to read should give his a try. On to the review: Whiteout is a murder mystery set on Antartica. The main character Carrie Stetko is a very engaging character (Kate Beckinsale is cast as Carrie in the movie). The story is mostly about Carrie trying to find the murderer before he and nearly everyone else leaves Antarctica for the winter. Whiteout is entertaining with interesting characters and a very compelling story. Steve Lieber's art is quite good and he is definitely artist I would seek out in the future. I've never read anything Greg Rucka, but I've been meaning to read Gotham Central co-written by Ed Brubaker one of my favorite writers. Whiteout is a very good comic and anyone interested in a really good crime story should definitely seek this out.

Criminal # 10

This is the last issue of the current arc. I'm not sure if I like this arc or previous arc better, but they both are quite excellent. Criminal is my favorite comic being published and if you haven't given Criminal a try yet what's wrong with you. This issue didn't bring anything new to the series, but it was still an amazing read and offered a satisfying conclusion to the story arc. Whats really Criminal (thought of that during the second read through) is that I have to wait till February for the next issue.

Thats it for now. Hopefully I will review some more comics this weekend. I really wish No County for Old Men was showing in my town, but I guess I will have to wait till next week so long.
