Snowfall #5 (2016) concludes the first arc of this bold and cerebral dystopian series from Image Comics, written by Joe Harris with striking art by Martín Morazzo. A layered, subversive sci-fi narrative, Snowfall examines ecological collapse, climate manipulation, and the manipulation of truth in a future where the weather is controlled—and weaponised—by corporate powers.

By issue five, tensions have reached boiling point. The enigmatic figure known as the White Wizard—part revolutionary, part eco-terrorist—has thrown the controlling bodies of the Hazard Climate Corporation into chaos. His actions have destabilised the carefully managed climate systems and exposed fractures in the regime’s propaganda. This issue pushes the ideological and literal storms toward critical mass, as secrets come to light and characters are forced to confront their roles in this fractured society.

Joe Harris delivers a dense, thought-provoking script that continues to interrogate themes of environmental decay, misinformation, and the commodification of nature. What makes Snowfall stand out is its refusal to simplify its conflicts—there are no clean heroes or villains here, only individuals shaped by desperation, loss, and shifting morality. The narrative avoids heavy exposition, trusting readers to immerse themselves in its politically charged and morally grey landscape.

Martín Morazzo’s artwork is sharp, eerie, and deliberately disquieting. His architectural linework and unconventional panel layouts contribute to the book’s tense, fragmented atmosphere. Morazzo captures both the desolate beauty of a broken Earth and the subtle expressions of characters grappling with their complicity. The colours, handled by Kelly Fitzpatrick, are cold, washed-out, and industrial, enhancing the sense of a world drained of natural vibrancy.

Snowfall #5 is a complex, moody, and stylishly illustrated finale to a challenging first arc—one that demands readers pay close attention, and rewards them with depth and resonance. It’s ideal for fans of speculative fiction with a political edge, offering commentary on climate crisis and corporate overreach that feels all too relevant.
