Finally, Whiteout Returns!

Over at ICv2, there's the announcement that the third volume of Whiteout by will be coming out in spring of 2008. Just in time to coincide with the release of the feature film based on the first series.

For those in the dark, Whiteout was a black and white comic book series written by novelist Greg Rucka and illustrated by Steve Lieber. The book followed the exploits of Carrie Stetko, a U.S. Marshal based in Antarctica.

While the stories are told in the form of sequential art, Rucka's background as a novelist really shows as you could easily imagine them as prose novels. Of course that would deprive you of Lieber's solid artwork.

There's still time to check out the first two volumes, Whiteout and Whiteout:Melt, before the debut of the new series.
