Editorial Reviews

Review

Fans of the film, or of post-apocalyptic SF stories in general, will find this to be an interesting story, worth picking up." - ICV2

“Moody and immersive ... the end of this book totally put me on the edge of my seat” - Spoiler Free Movie Sleuth

"An absolutely fascinating read from cover to cover, Snowpiercer: The Escape is one of those dystopian science fiction stories that is all too plausible given today's political polarization, increasingly rapid climate change, and humanities undeniable contribution to the increasing extinction rates of flora and fauna species globally" - Midwest Book Review 

“A rare sequence, over 35 years in the making, that retains its humane message as well as its painterly and expressive artistry in a magnificent fashion” - Bookgasm

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly impressed!

Curious about graphic novels, I ordered 'Snow Piercer' in graphic form and was not disappointed. Timely and vivid. I wouldn't need a library of these, but certain especially graphic/ sci-fi, historical, etc books could be fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars an interesting read
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2022
'Snowpiercer: Prequel Volume 1' is the first graphic novel I've read. I was impressed with the quality of the illustrations, a bit surprised at some of the naughty images and foul language, and wasn't surprised that it served as the foundation for a successful movie and television series. Actually the celluloid adaptations are better than the graphic novel because they provide so much more background and characterizations. Still, I found reading the graphic novel to be an interesting and enjoyable experience. It is also something you can read cover to cover in only a couple of hours.

Bottom line: a most compelling adult 'comic book'. Recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2021

I enjoyed the first season of the tv series and have continued with season two. I thought this prequel book would provide more details on the events leading up to season one. I should have headed the previously posted reviews. Instead of buying a useless hardcover comic book I could have put a match to a $20 bill and the results would have been the same.

3.0 out of 5 stars Two volumes is a cheap money grab
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019

Great story and great quality. Why only three stars? If you have the other volumes you get a full story for the price of this one. With double the pages for some volumes. Splitting this into two smaller editions is a cheap money grab. I would have even rather paid more for one volume then paid for two parts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor storyline, save your money
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020

Incredibly bad story line. No mention of Wilfred, the bad guys are named the Apocalypsters, no real reason given as to why they want to destroy the human race other than "humans are parasites", and ends with nuclear power plants blowing up because of hackers. It feels like there was little to no effort put into this. I don't recommend it.

I probably should have known what 'graphic book' meant. But I didn't so instead of a nice fat juicy novel I got a sort of grim Tintin. Still, it'll make a good Christmas present.
