A stunning graphic-novel adaptation of the megaselling Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident.

Adapted by Eoin Colfer and Andrew Donkin. Art by Giovanni Rigano and colour by Paolo Lamanna.

Someone has been supplying Class-A illegal human power sources to the goblins. Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit is sure that her arch-enemy, thirteen-year-old Artemis Fowl, is responsible. But is he? Artemis has his own problems to deal with: his father is being held to ransom and only a miracle will save him. Maybe this time a brilliant plan just won't be enough. Maybe this time Artemis needs help . . .

This book was so good!

I love the characters, especialle Holly and 'Smulder' as he is called in the Danish book - I loved his thing with the Oscars! The kentaur was pretty nice too. I liked Artemis a lot more in this one. Butler is still an amazing characters as well.

The plot was much better in this one with multiple storylines,politics and yeah. It had several wtf-moments, at least for me. Like when Artemis shot his dad, OMG did not see that coming!!

The humour in this book was pretty great too! I loved every reference and sarcastic saying, like the thing with the cereal boxes.

I'm definitely continuing this series!
