I’m gonna have to check out this story as soon as I can!! Morrison is one of my favorite writers of all time so there’s no way I’m missing out on something written by them

I'd highly recommend it. As someone who's just recently gotten into Morrison's work, I think Klaus is both a great jumping on point but also a great coda to all of their stories. It's definitely less meta and genre-bending, but it still feels like Grant through and through.

Hey, great video, dude! Been waiting a long time for this one! Grant and Dan have made something truly special here and the idea of making Santa Claus into an immortal superhero is just inspiring! I don't think there will ever be another iteration of Santa Claus as cool as this one! I can't wait to add this to my collection and I look forward to your next video! Happy Holidays! 🎄🌟🎁☃🦌🎅

This is Morrison at his superhero best you have to put Klaus along with his takes on Superman and his runs on Batman Doom patrol animal man and new x men as master superhero storytelling.

I'll admit, I've never been that much of a fan of Morrison's work. Even All Star Superman, a book touted as one of my favorite character's best stories I thought was just okay, not even coming close to the immense hype fans had built upon it over the years. But this book actually catches my interest. It sounds a bit strange and out there (I mean it's Santa Claus: Year One for Pete's sake), but compared to a lot of their other works, this is probably the closest to normal Morrison has done.

@ForEveryKindofGeek 2 жыл бұрын

That's fair, I do think that Morrison's work is a bit of an acquired taste. It's even something that they've commented on, with them working to make Klaus a story that's more universal and accessible. I see it as the perfect stepping stone to their other works, it still draws on a lot of genre-bending and meta tropes but it's never too showy about it.
