It's been a while since I last read a comic and when I came across this one on Netgalley I just thought, why not. It'll be out on the 27th of December.
This is the story of the Dyatlov Pass mystery in comic book form. It tells the story of this mystery, with some interpretation of course, of the events leading up to the horrible fate the explorers met.
It was quite interesting to read/see about this story as I've never heard of it before. The story is beautifully drawn and told as you can actually learn from it. The faces of the characters were a bit alike which made it a bit difficult to distinguish between them. Halfway through it became a bit more clear.
An interesting story depicted in a great way albeit a but confusing at the start.
4/5 ⭐

This comic explores the events and theories surrounding the Dyatlov Pass Mystery in which nine mountaineers died in unexplainable ways in 1959. This book also contains interviews at the end with experts on this mystery which further explore the conspiracy theories surrounding this case.
As someone who is fascinated by this case, I found this comic very interesting. I loved the art work and thought it was very clever using different colour schemes for the past and present timelines. This was translated into English from French however the translation felt very natural so it wasn't obvious that it was translated. I thought the inclusion of imagined events from the past timeline was really interesting and bought the mountaineers to life as people rather than just victims which is so often the case for this particular mystery.
However I do wish that all the characters had been introduced at the start as I found myself getting confused as to who was who and the relationships between different characters. I found the interviews at the end quite repetitive and nothing really ground breaking or new was discussed.
Overall this was a great summary of all the facts of this mystery and the illustrations are absolutely incredible!

The overall, I though this was very well done. I am interested in Dyatlov Pass, the mystery that surrounded it, and conclusions drawn.
The art work was stunning. I liked the way they used color to differentiate between the past vents and current investigation. It was very detailed and held my attention. The visual story telling was excellent and flowed well. I understood what was happening even on panels with no words.
This is a translated graphic novel from French to English. Sometimes translations I've read has been confusing/some information is lost but I found this one very clear and easy to understand.
I will purchase this once it is released.

Good take on the story of the Dyatlov Pass incident, but I just wasn't a big fan of the art style. The story was told very well and in an interesting way but every once in a while I would fall out of it due to how much the art was bothering my eyes.
