Siberia 56 | Christophe Bec
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Trapped on a planet millions of light years away from Earth, five scientists must survive sub-zero temperatures and horrific alien creatures as they make their way across the dead, frozen landscape to their base in this action-packed graphic novel. It is the age of space exploration, and five scientists travel 80 million light years from home to study the planet of Siberia, the location of Earths 56th colony. Completely covered with dense snow and steep mountains, Siberias poles reach temperatures of -300 F with icy winds of close to 200 mph. After their shuttle crashes, the surviving scientists must walk across hundreds of miles of frozen wasteland to find the terrain basecamp. Between the biting cold, devastating snow storms, and horrific alien creatures, their chances of survival are close to absolute zero. In Siberia 56, author Christophe Bec imagines a hostile and fascinating world that harkens to the very best of the science fiction and horror genres. Superbly illustrated by Alexis Sentenac, this stunning work offers a chilling tale of survival in the vast recesses of a dying planet.

I hate to do this to this book, but I didn‘t really care for the storyline. Or care about it, actually. The artwork is beautiful, in that outer-space-frozen way, and some pages were just gorgeous. But the rest of it? I barely finished reading it. It‘s not actively bad, or anything, just..sort of...there.

An interesting concept with very pleasing illustrations falls atrociously short with ragged, inconsistent storytelling. The pacing is a hot mess of super-fast to unbearably slow. The characters are a humdrum lot with bromidic dialogue usage. The suspense was non-existent as there's no sense of atmosphere due to the bad writing. I'm sad because I was really excited about this.
