I loved the issue, it's got this really cool kind of mythical epicness to it. The writing and art are awesome, and once the magic got brought in it really felt like this series could be special. And the wolf is great!

I thought it was really cool to have this tight, straight storytelling that leads to Klaus' awakening with that amazing trip sequence and then having him wake up to be confronted by the totems that will make him into myth. great first issue and I'm looking forward to seeing the great feats of Santa to come

The art was the most impressive ingredient in this so far, but I'm sticking around.

Comics were definitely happier, breezier and more confident in their own strengths before Hollywood and the Internet turned the business of writing superhero stories into the production of low budget storyboards or, worse, into conformist, fruitless attempts to impress or entertain a small group of people who appear to hate comics and their creators. -- Grant Morrison, 2008

I keep wanting this is parallel the 80s movie with Dudley Moore more. Basically, this barbarian fur trapper comic should have more Dudley Moore.

Good review. Loved this book. Definitely one of the best books that came out last week. It wasn't overly grim and gritty. Morrison is one of those writers who can walk that fine line between being dark, but not too dark. This story felt like a mix of mythology and Skyrim, a potent combination with some universal themes. This could prove to be a fun, holiday treat of sorts. It's not like anyone else is releasing quality Christmas themed comics these days anyways. I'm glad Morrison rose to the occasion.
