At the bottom of the world U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko is in exile, in a place where she hopes she can forget her past, however fate has other plans. The discovery of a body starts a murder hunt across the stark Antarctic landscape which turns out to be a very dangerous place indeed…
This is a new edition of what is one of Oni Press’ earliest and most popular books. It collects together the first 4 issues of the Whiteout mini-series into a new 6x9 inch trade paperback. As well as the new format, the book has been ‘re-mastered’ which presumably means the original artwork has been scanned and retouched from scratch. There’s also new cover art and an afterword by artist Steve Leiber.
A sequel, Whiteout, Vol. 2: Melt, is also available as a definitive edition having gone through the same re-mastering process as the original. There is also a film adaptation slated for release in 2009 with Kate Beckinsale in the lead.
