The sleigh is effectively his Bat-Mobile, or the TARDIS if you like. Alongside Tiger, the roster also includes the animal musicians from the Grimm’s Fairy Tale The Musician of Bremen, because why the hell not? The Cosmic Sleigh Tiger is like Nick Fury if he were a cat with superpowers. On the side, you see Lilli’s good pal, Tiger The Size-Shifting Cat. The one will always stand by him and ride with him, even on the darkest day, in the blackest hour. She’s immortal, much like him, and his ever-loyal ally. Lilli, The Super-WolfĮssentially his Krypto The Super-Dog. Let’s take a look at some of the wild insanity that inhabits his world. Thus you have the old gift-giver re-imagined by Mora as a sexy immortal beefcake hero for the ages. Klaus is somewhat of a cross between Superman, Batman and Doctor Who, and he’s absolutely a superhero. So what you get is a wild, weird and accessible Morrisonian spin on folklore and myth, brought to life by Mora’s art, alongside letterer Ed Dukeshire. The basic concept of the whole enterprise is simple, as described above: Santa as a superhero. If you have no idea what to expect or need the incentive and reason to get you interested though, look no further! That’s what we’re here for. They’re a load of fun and a hell of a comfort read.

If you enjoy Mora or Morrison, the stories are a lovely purchase. They’re usually anywhere from 25 to 50 pages and are great one-and-done stories, which have recurring elements and expand upon the crazy world this Santa inhabits. Teaming up with Grant Morrison, Mora re-invented Santa as a superhero in a fantasy world.Įver since that original 7-issue mini, Morrison and Mora have maintained an annual tradition: every year, in December, no matter what, a new Klaus one-shot drops. But his real big moment of arrival–when he came to the public’s attention and began his ascent to being one of the best artists in the business–began with 2015’s Klaus. You may be familiar with the terrific Dan Mora from the recent hit Once & Future with Kieron Gillen, you may know him from his Power Rangers work or other BOOM! projects. It’s the sort of thing that, especially during difficult moments like now, is a reliable source of joy.

It’s incredibly feel-good, designed for Christmas season, but it works great no matter what time of the year it is. What we’ll be going over here today is a really comfy, warm and fun comic and beyond that, just a fun world of comics. So what the hell, let’s talk and look at some fun comics to catch up on and revisit! The path ahead for comics seems uncertain. Virtually no new comics releases will be arriving for this whole month, even on digital. We’re all social distancing and in quarantine.
