Set in the same universe as the original story, SNOWPIERCER, VOL. 2:
THE EXPLORERS is set several years into the future as the original SNOWPIERCER.
Much of the plot of SNOWPIERCER, VOL. 2: THE EXPLORERS takes place upon this
new train, The Snowpiercer 2, aka Icebreaker. This train is larger than the first,
runs even faster, and is even capable of stopping for short periods of time.
Snowpiercer 2 runs along the same track as the original train did and the
people on board are fearful that the two trains will eventually collide. It is
during the brief stops the train makes that a particular group of individuals,
called Explorers, set out to survey the landscape and see if they can find any
signs of the original train, signs of a thaw, etc. The protagonist of
SNOWPIERCER 2 is an Explorer named Puig. Puig is kind of a rebel and gets in
trouble. As a result he ends up being selected for a suicide mission, he ends
up surviving the mission. He becomes a hero, and as a result, and life aboard
Snowpiercer 2 completely changes for everyone. SNOWPIERCER 2 ties into the
original story, but it’s a much different story. Instead of a social commentary
on the haves and have-nots of the world, SNOWPIERCER 2 is more a commentary on
how governments can control large populations of people and make them believe
things that aren’t really true. It’s still a social commentary, but just a
different type of one. If you read the original SNOWPIERCER, then you will want
to check out Vol. 2.
