This comic is a 10 part digital ebook. The story is still continuing to be published. I read Season One and Season Two of this post-apocalyptic story of survival in a harsh winter area. The area is called The Trench. It is an endless canyon carved into the ice where a few people have been able to survive. The residents all know, though, the something awful will happen if one of them leaves the Trench. The residents do not know how they were settled in the Trench and they have survived by never leaving it. The plot follows the activities of two girls, Milliken, 12 and her younger sister Mae Mae. When their father took them on an overnight skate to teach them how to fish in the frozen river, he inadvertently woke up the Trench's deadly defender, the Snowman. During a fight with the Snowman, their father was killed and the girls found themselves on their own.

I found the plot to be mediocre. It was hard to maintain interest in the comic but because I paid for it, I was determined to finish it. While the setting was magnificent, I did not connect with any of the characters. Neither of the girls interested me. The father was the most compelling character because he carried the secrets of the Trench. I kept reading because I wanted to know what those secrets were but he did not tell many of them. The reader eventually discovers what all the secrets are, but the reveal came almost on the last page. There was no lead up to the discovery of them which could have created some suspense.

This book fell flat. ( )
