crookedtreehouse 's review for:

To Build a Fire: Based on Jack London's Classic Story by Christophe Chabouté

2.0

When describing why some early Claremont books don't work for me, I talk about a scene that he writes about Wolverine traveling in the Arctic where he spends several pages narrating how cold the Arctic is, while the character talks about how cold it is, walking amongst a scene ensconsed with snow and ice, that you Can See is cold.

I haven't read Jack London's "To Build A Fire", but I would suggest, having read this adaptation that it should wither have been adapted as a wordless comic or not at all. The text is completely superfluous. I can see it's fucken cold. You don't have to spend every page telling me that it's cold, very cold, freezing. I can see that.

I recommend flipping through the book for its art, but I wouldn't buy it. Buy Chaboute's "Alone" or "Park Bench" instead.
