I can't believe I had heard or read nothing about this event in history until I was actually doing a little research on the Resolute Desk in the White House which was made from the remains of the ship Resolute. I inadvertently stumbled upon Shackleton's Incredible story as it seemed to interest me more that the story about the Resolute although both were stuck in an ice flow. What an incredible mistake and happy outcome for me. I literally could not put this book down and when I wasn't reading it, i was thinking about it. In the last few days the national news has been reporting on a story about stranded scientists in the Antarctic. They have been stuck in an ice flow for sometime now while waiting on two other ice breaker ships to rescue them. Those on this ship have been sending YouTube videos and pictures etc while waiting on their rescue. Again, I am reminded about Shackleton and his crew in the exact same situation with the major difference being no way to communicate or even send a distress signal. This author did a fantastic job of describing in a very entertaining manner the ordeal. I am so impressed with the leadership and the crew of The Endurance that I am sure it will stick with me as one of my top five all time favorite books. The most fascinating thoughts regarding the current situation compared to Shackleton's is that the modern day crew have about two weeks of supplies with them while Shackleton's crew had to survive for nearly two years. He has to be one of the most incredible leaders of all time for having the ability to not lose one crew member and keep all of them believing in their own survival. It seemed to me to have been an impossible task.

The story and art for this Archie reboot is fantastic. I haven't picked up a Archie comic in years and now I can't wait for the next issue to come. Bravo.
