A new 3 issue 30 Days of Night mini series, called Red Snow, is due to start in August 2007. The blurb looks a little like this:
“1941. Hitler's Operation Silver Fox has failed but the war on the Eastern Front drags on as the Russian winter starts to bite.
“British military attaché Corporal Charlie Keating observes the war from the Soviet side, making sure crucial supplies get through to aid Stalin's front in the battle against the Nazis. He sees first hand how tough the Russians have it, yet somehow even the local peasants manage to live amidst the ruins of their country. With luck, he too will survive to see the end of the war.
“But something else is out there and they're not the Nazis. No matter how hard humanity tries to kill itself, something does it better.”

I think they've gone overboard on these miniseries. I don't think i've liked one they've put out for a couple of years (the Annuals are still good, though). I'll probably pick it up anyways.
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame (iro the quality) I must admit I've only ever picked up graphic novels of the series.
