Klaus: Klaus and the Crying Snowman #1

Morrison and Mora, alongside Dukeshire, have produced another masterful installment in the ongoing epic saga of Klaus. This is superhero comics at their best. Read Full Review

My favorite holiday book this (and every) year, pick this up if you see it. Also trades paperbacks are available for the previous specials, if you missed them. Read Full Review

It's beginning to look a lot like Klaus-mas! Read Full Review

Dan Mora's art is great. I love all of the splash pages because they are brilliantly drawn and detailed. An incredibly fun book filled with great art. Read Full Review

KLAUS AND THE CRYING SNOWMAN is a pretty light, basic story, but its premise is gold and its message beautiful. Dan Mora's art is incredible as always; he's the reason this mind-bending, bad-ass Santa Claus story is worth your $7.99. Read Full Review

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, treat yourself to "Klaus and the Crying Snowman" #1, a bold, imaginative yuletide tale that balances the epic grandeur of interplanetary conflict with a tender, human-centered story of redemption and getting a second chance. Read Full Review

This story might not greatly enhance the character of Klaus as a whole, but you'll be hard-pressed not to fall in love with this magical world and the legend at the center of it. Read Full Review

Klaus and the Crying Snowman #1 is another great entry into the series. Even though I feel the story could have used a few more pages, it is still a great holiday read. It has everything we come to expect from a Klaus book. Great action, adventure, and heart as well. Dan Mora and Grant Morrison make a great creative team and this is another story not to miss!

Klaus is as cool as Thor used to be! This is a buy. Read Full Review

If you are a fan of that run, this is a good pick for your pull list. But, if you are looking for a holiday comic with a similar tone and haven't read the originalKlaus run, I recommend checking out the Red Sonja: Holiday Special from Dynamite Comics. Read Full Review

The cover price is a bit over the top at $7.99 for a 50-page comic without a spine, but you are getting exceptional quality in the art department. Read Full Review

This is for real 8 dollars good?

In my opinion, definitely, but you have to be a fan or at least understand Grant Morrison's writing.

Comix4fever - Dec 21, 2018

It's worth it but it helps if you have read the miniseries first.

ohhaimark - Dec 21, 2018

That's very true.

THE GOOD: -This issue's opening was great. Intriguing and mysterious, making the reader curious about what's going to happen next. -I love Dan Mora's art. It's so great, he should do more work with Grant. -That writing had me in heaven. I am a Grant Morrison nerd, so this issue really pleased me. -Those action scenes were quite amazing, I have nothing else to say. -The Norse mythology ties were great as well. -Sam was such an amazing character. Once again, that's all I have to say. -That Screamer scene was so random but so funny. I loved it. -The flying bagpipes were great in my opinion. -I loved the defeat of the villains, not in any big fight or anything, instead in the Klaus way. -The themes of redem ption in this issue are pretty amazingly done. I love it. -The ending was so beautiful and perfect. -I loved this issue. In the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that!" THE BAD: -My only complaint is that the villains could have been executed better. They had a great premise and defeat, but they had more potential than what they were, which were pretty conventional bad guy characters. more
