This comic was wild. I am still confused about Tintin. his age, position in society, his clothes, everything but his immense courage, will, and determination. When he sets his mind to something he will get it DONE. The captain was a great character. He bothered me a bit in the beginning because he kept repeating himself over and over with the same line. Eventually tho I saw him as wonderful comic relief from the nonstop action. I have never seen someone with so many unfortunate happenings except the Baudelaire orphans. Tintin just rolls with the punches, and picks his head up and carries on.
At first i wasn't sure how to react to this comic. it seemed completely unbelievable that his friend was still alive, and it took a completely realistic time for them to do anything or go anywhere and by the time they got to the plane crash it must have been like a month. They didn't even find him for about another week or so. The whole Yeti business threw me for a loop as well, I did not know this comic had supernatural stuff in it so i thought it was weird how often they kept bringing it up but when it showed the monk Lightning having a vision and he was floating i paused and realized the yeti was real and the comic got a lot more interesting. Stylistically i am not really a fan of how simple everything was but after reading the whole thing i definitely appreciate it a lot more. The simplistic characters in the detailed backgrounds were nice contrasts of each other so it was easy to tell what was going on. There was so much action through out this comic that i did not stop reading it from beginning to end i flew through it!
