About this title

From the Publisher

Comic Book Resources:

"WHITEOUT: MELT stars Carrie Stetko again, who is talked into taking on one more case at the South Pole. It's a quick and dirty operation, it holds certain promises, and it goes very wrong. This book is much more action/adventure-oriented than the first mini-series. It moves quickly, without hesitation, and carries you through the narrative with tension, suspense, and action."

iComics:

"One of the real draws to Whiteout books is the main character, Carrie Stetko. You never stop believing in her, be it reuniting with friends or facing off in a collapsed base. She thinks like a real person, acts like a real person, and looks like a real person."

About the Author

Greg Rucka was born in San Francisco and raised on the Central Coast of California, in what is commonly referred to as "Steinbeck Country." He began his writing career in earnest at the age of 10 by winning a county-wide short-story contest, and hasn't let up since. He graduated from Vassar College with an A.B. in English, and from the University of Southern California's Master of Professional Writing program with an M.F.A. He is the author of nearly a dozen novels, six featuring bodyguard Atticus Kodiak, and three featuring Tara Chace, the protagonist of his Queen & Country series. Additionally, he has penned several short-stories, countless comics, and the occasional non-fiction essay. In comics, he has had the opportunity to write stories featuring some of the world's best-known characters--Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman--as well as penning several creator-owned properties himself, such as Whiteout and Queen & Country, both published by Oni Press. His work has been optioned several times over, and his services are in high-demand in a variety of creative fields as a story-doctor and creative consultant. Greg resides in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, author Jennifer Van Meter, and his two children. He thinks the biggest problem with the world is that people aren't paying enough attention.
