This Boy Fantasy didn't age well. Only woman in it jumps on the man minutes after meeting him and continues to initiate every few pages. Even apologized for being mad and sulking. Naked women constantly. The movie (and definitely TV series) had more plot and background.
I quite like the world setting (in a frozen world all survivors live on a perpetual-motion train with 1001 wagons, forming their own cruel hierarchical society that can only be traversed along 1 dimension) but the graphic novel fails in so many other ways for me: There's only one female character who immediately (and inexplicably) starts up a romance with the hero, and all the other women in the background are whores/sex slaves. The drawing style sometimes made it hard for me to distinguish characters. And the writing and plot development isn't that great.
I took home the bound volume that had all 3 Transperceneige volumes, but now won't read the other two.
