The third volume of the graphic novel series that inspired the movie Snowpiercer, starring Chris Evans - presented in English for the very first time!
On a future, frozen Earth, humanity has been packed onto self-sustaining trains, doomed to circumnavigate the globe until the end of the interminable ice age - or until the engines give out.
When a scrap of music piques their interest, the inhabitants of the Icebreaker take the ultimate risk and cross the frozen ocean, a vast expanse with no train tracks... and no way to return to them.
"One of the greatest sci-fi comics ever written!" – Comics Beat
"Dystopian scifi at its best...a marvellous entry into the genre, and one of Europe's finest comics works." - io9
Similar in tone and setting to Alan Moore's V for Vendetta." - Super Punch
"Like WALKING DEAD, this is apocalypse done right!" - Ain't It Cool
"One of the most celebrated sociopolitical tales in comics." – IGN
“...dark and powerful...the political subtleties and social commentary ride close to the surface, providing the depth and timeless quality...That Terminus not only hails back to this original subject, but also introduces new pressing concerns for the most vulnerable in society, is both welcome and impressive.” - Comics Alliance
