Klaus and the Crying Snowman #1
John Jack
Recap
Klaus and his winter buddies need to stop the dark fire god Surtr from bringing another Ragnarok to the Earth, as they did to the Norse Gods 1500 years at the fall of Asgard.
Review
Wooooow! Amazing amazing amazing issue, the art, the story, the message, all incredible. I love the panels depicting the end of Asgard (the one picture above is my new desktop background a panel from last years special was then too) and the Necromen on Titan look great.
The twist ending of this issue is really pretty great and par for the course considering what jerks the Norse Gods could be. Likewise as a redemption story for Sam the snowman it was sublime.
Dan Mora might be my favorite artist now. So incredible. His use of color is next level, nobody colors their work like his.
Final Thoughts
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.
