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.

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.

I don’t know if this is a joke or not, but Grant Morrison is non-binary, and has identified as such for some time.
