Ice Cream Man #22 infuses Christmas with a feeling of unease and dread, while our main character wrestles with a life changing issue. Julie is Prince's most appealing character to date, a young woman confronted on all sides, but who wins through to the end more or less intact. Read Full Review

As Julie experiences each calendar day, the gift seems to echo her dreams and day. Her fears and reality slowly mix. Given the nature of the story and the decisions facing Julie, this issue never felt overly preachy, except for the actual preacher. Instead, Prince opts to let the reader learn our own lesson and take our own message from this issue. Ending on a somber note, I felt the question being asked of Julie and everyone is what are you celebrating? Read Full Review

If you have never picked up an Ice Cream Man book, you may be doing yourself a disservice. Reminiscent of shows like The Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt, and even Black Mirror, the franchise is a series of one-shot stories with each focusing on a new tale of terror. Read Full Review

Another bizarre and enjoyable issue from ICE CREAM MAN. Great stuff to end 2020.

I thought something terrible would happen at the end, but I suppose it was Christmas after all.

This is one of the best series running at the moment.

This is probably the most positive issue yet. Huh.

Was that a happy ending of sorts in ice cream man? Wild. But it was well written and interesting throughout.

I think I liked this in the end.
