"The Boston Online Film Critics Assn. favored dark-horse indies on
Saturday, naming "Snowpiercer" the year's top film." - Variety
"It's a great science fiction read that will keep you thinking for
days." - Examiner "I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic stories, so
this one's right up my alley." - Quint's SUMMER GEEK GUIDE (Aint It
Cool News) "Looks fantastic, with a design that's almost timeless."
- Kotaku "One of the most celebrated sociopolitical tales in
comics." - IGN "Snowpiercer is a great read and a great looking
release. If nothing else it'll look super classy sitting on your
bookshelf" - Nerdophiles "Rises above the clichés" - Miami Herald
"I was enthralled." - Geek Twins "Paired with an incredibly skilled
artist, this first installment, in what will be a trilogy of
graphic novels, is one that should not be passed up." - Another
Castle "Lob's script is fierce and sharply characterized." -
Blogcritics "Stunning black and white art, full of shades of grey,
makes fantastic use of the setting." - Giant Freakin "Snowpiercer
was worth the wait." - Basement Rejects "A triumph of the medium."
- Silver Emulsion "The artwork in the book is once again first
rate." - Geek Hard "After more than 30 years, it's about time this
thought-provoking story got an English language release." -
Nerdcore Movement "From its commentary on inequality, to the
mysterious and intriguing characters, to the dystopian future it
presents, Snowpiercer hits high marks across the board. Part noir,
part gritty science fiction, this series takes a unique perspective
on the end of the world." - Destroy The Cyborg "From an artistic
standpoint, the book is marvelous." - Comic Attack "It's cerebral,
it's entertaining, and it's brutally honest, making it a powerful
and damning message about our modern society when all hope is
lost." - Leviathyn "Hard To Put Down." - Destroy the Brain
"Rochette's work is evocative of American classics of the eighties,
such as Dave Gibbons' work on Watchmen, David Lloyd's work on V for
Vendetta, and Frank Miller's work on Sin City...Snowpiercer is a
page turner that comic and science fiction fans alike will find to
be an engrossing read." - SF Signal "Four Out of Five Stars." -
SciFi Mafia "A modern classic." - Pop Culture Leftovers "An
extremely fantastic and timeless read." - Galactic News One
"Snowpiercer would be a welcome addition to any comic collection."
- Comic Hype "A good apocalyptic read and a well-executed
translation." - Knowshi "The story is solid, tightly paced, with
layers that grow more nuanced and complex as you read deeper
through to the end. Like the never-ending, seemingly futile journey
of the train itself, the plot comes at you like a steamroller." -
Girls Like Comics "An unusually clever and simple tragedy of class
warfare and the arrogance and resilience of humanity that manages
to be relevant and fresh 30 years after its original publication."
- Fanboy Comics "Not the kind of book you want to miss out on.
Jaqcues Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette craft a claustrophobic tale of
social structures, violence, and sex, all in stunning detail." -
IGN "A science fiction tale that certainly stands the test of
time." - Film Pulse "Those of you who might want to skip these
enthralling and thought provoking pages for the silver screen
adaptation would be missing out on a remarkable read." - Forces of
Geek "An engaging and clever take on the usual tropes of the
apocalypse/survivalist genre." - The Playlist "Snowpiercer is
unlike anything I've read. The premise alone is enough to attract
readers and the themes and issues are still relevant. It's a great,
compelling look at humanity and its treatment of class difference."
- Major Spoilers "Powerful." - The Dissolve "Titan went out on a
limb to bring this great story to life for English readers." - Nerd
Gasms "Titan's volume is their usual gorgeous book, and it's well
worth buying." - Uproxx "It may have taken a decade for this
creative French comic to get some of the spotlight, but great
comics like this are often timeless." - Examiner "An outstanding
human tale about the struggles of class in a very unfortunate
situation." - We The Nerdy "This collection is presented in a
beautiful hardcover edition which presents Jean-Marc Rochette's
clean, propulsive art to its best advantage." - Project Fandom "An
entertaining action thriller that's much deeper than you'd expect.
I absolutely recommend checking it out." - Graphic Policy "Titan
gives this first volume of "Snowpiercer" the respect it deserves.
The translation is solid and the hardcover printing is beautiful.
It's been a long time coming, but it's well worth the wait." -
Bloody Disgusting "Fantastic writing and gritty art, and though it
debuted in 1982, it still feels fresh some 30 years later." - The
Verge "Essential reading for any fans of the sequential arts...and
a book I can't recommend highly enough. 5/5" - Big Comic Page "If
you're into cool stories about futures that suck, this one is worth
your time." - Geek Hard "One of the best science fiction stories
I've read in the comic/graphic novel medium." - Nerds Unchained
"Left me breathless...Jean-Marc Rochette's illustrations are
flawless. 5/5" - Den of Geek "Highly recommended." - Twitch
"Dystopian scifi at its best...a marvellous entry into the genre,
and one of Europe's finest comics works." - io9 "A great read and a
very entertaining book." - 411 Mania "A tightly presented,
compelling story that considers the plight of one man caught inside
a class struggle that has implications for the very survival of the
human race. And don't get me wrong, it may be a dark tale, but it
is a well-crafted and exciting one. I'll be the first one to buy a
boarding pass when they release Snowpiercer Volume 2: Explorers." -
Pop Mythology "A wonderful graphic novel" - Nerd Span "Packed with
great storytelling (written and artistically), it is great to have
this story finally translated into English. Moreover, this is a
story that thirty years on, is still just as engaging and
compelling as it was way back in 1984." - The MacGuffin "Pretty
much the definition of a page-turner, this comic book has not aged
at all, and deserves to be on the shelf of any comic book fan. I
honestly can't say how impressed I am that Titan has managed to
finally get this volume translated." - Population Go "This is a
thrilling post-apocalyptic tale that draws you in and never lets
go. We highly recommend "SNOWPIERCER"!" - TM Stash "Nothing short
of awesome." - Horror Movies "Lob's tale is both frightening and
very real...Rochette's illustrations are equally as enthralling and
superbly capture the essence of the script itself. While the book
predominantly paints a dark picture, it does offer rare moments
that masterfully encapsulate emotions such as joy, pain and anger,
something that speaks volumes to the work's ability to captivate."
- The Nerd Machine "Similar in tone and setting to Alan Moore's V
for Vendetta." - Super Punch "It's easy to lose yourself in
Snowpiercer because the world feels real." - Hyper Geeky "Like
WALKING DEAD, this is apocalypse
done right!" - Ain't It Cool "One of the greatest sci-fi comics
ever written!"
- Comics Beat
