Indeed, Klaus chimes in to remind Sam of their journey to the Towers of Animatropolis on Titan and a previous battle with the Tree-Monster that first kicked off their adventure. Either way, as he references in passing a “war with the comet people,” it becomes abundantly clear that this isn’t going to be your grandfather’s Christmas story. Or maybe, he concedes, it was all just a dream. The mood is decidedly wintry, even melancholy, as Sam tries to piece together his fragmentary memories of recent events. Sam, the titular snowman, stands awash in pale yellow light, accented by soft blue shadows. Like a lot of yuletide tales, this one begins quietly. Hop on Klaus’s sleigh and enjoy the wild, wonderful ride. So, if there’s even the slightest feeling that you’re too late to the party, no worries. ![]() Though it definitely builds on the character Morrison and Mora first unveiled in the original miniseries, there’s nothing you need to know or remember to fully appreciate this self-contained 50-page epic. Klaus is many things to many people worldwide, but this year he is the defender of Earth, alongside a host of other wintery warriors, as a threat of galactic proportions invades the planet and endangers all humans, naughty and nice alike.įirst off, “Klaus and the Crying Snowman” #1 is truly a one-shot. ![]()
