Chuck Dixon and Butch Guice take you deeper into the next ice age as Scully and Wynn find a refuge of sorts in the last place on Earth that’s warm. It’s a communal paradise of farmers and fishermen who have made heaven from hell. But is all what it seems to be or, as Scully believes, is it way too good to be true?

*** Beware – spoilers may be found below ***

The Good

  • Chuck Dixon breaks the norm and takes us to an area that isn’t barren and frozen — with a reasonable explanation.
  • “We are not a cruel people.  It is only that resources are limited.”
  • Guice and Rodriguez continue to impress with the interior art and colors.
  • “I’ve never seen a stockpile like this.”
  • “The book is very clear on this.” [Love the book used.]
  • Scully’s response when Wynn says, “I like it here” while looking at some boys her age.
  • “Well, ask yourself one question, sister… Where’s Rah-Rah?  Why’s he still hiding from them?”

The Bad:

  • I’m not a fan of the cover above.
  • “Then just let me go.”
  • Wynn is getting too comfortable in La Nina.

The Ugly:

  • “We need you to be there to be this year’s La Nina.”
  • “Then you will wear the bell.  And take the blessings of us all with you.”

 

Winter World #3 is for mature readers due to violence.
