Polar Volume 3: No Mercy For Sister Maria

Description

Left adrift in arctic waters with a gunshot wound to the head, Christy White was rescued from an icy death by a mysterious man. She craved retribution, and he taught her how to get it - how to make sense of her past and how to kill. They tried to freeze her out, but they should have finished the job, because now she's back with a vengeance! Collecting the second year of the bloody and beautiful silent web comic by Victor Santos, this rage-fuelled revenge story features new noir dialogue crafted by Santos for this edition.

Victor Santos, born in Valencia, began his career in 1998 by contributing to fanzines and local papers.

Santos has cooperated on the 'Pulp Heroes' saga at Astiberri, did the superhero comic 'Protector' (Dolmen), a juvenile comic called 'Aventuras en el Mundo Jung' (Aleta Ediciones), and fantasy titles like 'Faeric Gangs' (Astiberri) and 'Lone in Heaven' (Aleta). For the French publisher Soleil, he created the series 'Young Ronin', for which he does script, art and colors. The author lives in Bilbao, Vizcaya, Spain.

"A visual tour de force. With Polar, Victor Santos takes his seat at the table of the great graphic storytellers." -Brian Azzarello "[Victor Santos's] inspired cartooning fills this comic with energy and life. The action scenes are a thing of wonder . . . It's frantic and kinetic, inserting you into the moment and making you feel the intensity." -IGN "Carrying on Frank Miller's tradition of extremely stylized, visually striking storytelling, but still keeping its own voice. This is good comics." -Francesco Francavilla
