the ending was pretty magnificent!
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
