The best holiday tradition in comics returns in the next chapter of the epic Santa saga by visionary Grant Morrison and Eisner Award-nominated artist Dan Mora!
Klaus has to help an absentee dad-turned-snowman make amends before melting away for good. And probably before he's defeated by a pantheon of Norse Gods and their minions. All in a day's work for Santa Claus.

Monkeys Fighting Robots - Anthony Composto
Dec 17, 2018KLAUS 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

Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson
Dec 21, 2018Klaus 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!

Dec 21, 2018If 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

Dec 27, 2018The 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

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.
