Interesting story, though the depictions of women were a bit funny and over emphasized

Wow. I thought I was in a mood today because none of the GN I'd picked were doing anything for me. Then came Retrovirus. Great story. The art really added to the tale. The drawings are a little odd, almost immature but on purpose. I can't explain but it reminded me of something you'd see in creepshow or the like.
The story of Zoe as she makes what could be the biggest choice of her career is just a train wreck to watch but you can't turn away. It has everything - cavemen, weird biological warfare, military men, nerdy scientists and it's set in Antartica.
I do think the location was wasted and this could have been longer but I'm not really complaining. The story did skip ahead too much because I wanted to linger. I wanted to see the relationships between the characters build. I wanted to see just how evil the head of the corporation was.
I loved Zoe - that woman kicks ass. She is the next generation's Alice.
