"Really, I am zee nightmare of Christmas ... zee terror lurking inside your stocking ... and zey send a wooden soldier to kill me? I would hope to rank higher zan zee Babes in Toyland treatment."I loved everything about this! There is even a cliffhanger, so I am hopeful there are more to come. The original by Brom is definitely on my TBR list. Christmas-y goodness to warm my inner child's heart.

Greatly appreciate the recommend 😉What a crazy ride, loved it!

Wickedly entertaining, Krampus! is a fun and imaginative graphic novel. When someone steals the bones of St. Nicolas, the source of the Santa Claus power, the Secret Society of Santa Clauses make a deal with Krampus to free him from his prison in exchange for his help in recovering the bones. Author Brian Joines does an excellent job at integrating various Santa Claus and Krampus lore and crafting and interesting mythos. Also, there are some clever bits of satire and a good mix of humor. Dean Ko...

Not as much a deconstruction of the holiday as it is a savory treat to contrast with your normal holiday stories. mmmm....http://fedpeaches.blogspot.com/2014/1...

So, the bones of St. Nicholas have been stolen, which is never a good thing. The Secret Society of Santas needs them back, so who they gonna call?That's right - Krampus!This conclave of formerly-jolly men reluctantly release the beast from his cell, interrupting his Downton Abbey viewing; he is a huge fan of the Dowager Countess. IF he can get the bones back, he will earn his freedom. BUT, to make sure he stays on task , he's fitted with a Naughty Bomb, which will go BOOM! if Krampus is a bad de...

This was such a pain in the ass to read, it was 140 pages and it felt like it took forever to get through. The fact that all the Santa’s representatives were from different places and yet the ONLY character written with an accent was Krampus was so annoying. And reading all of the Krampus parts was frustrating with all the “z’s” used to create said accent. Overall the story just felt like it dragged, but it was short, so the fact that one could make a short story feel like it was dragging on, is...

The Secret Society of Santa Clauses releases Krampus, yuletide terror and punisher of wicked children when the bones of St. Nicholas gets stolen. Because, without the bones, their powers are gone...Already tired of Christmas? Tired of naughty children who only wants presents? Then this graphic novel is for you. Krampus is the opposite to Santa Clause and he is here to help them get the bones of St. Nicholas back, yes help, even though they locked him up 60 years ago.I must admit that I wasn't th...

Just an alright story

I love the being know as Krampus. Comics aren't my normal genre, but I won't turn one down. When I saw that there was a collected graphic novel containing issues of a Krampus comic I had never read, I had to request and read this. The story was great, combining quite a few wintry icons into this quest. (Although I didn't know about the zombie horse being one of said icons until I happened across a Facebook article.) This tale kept my attention, with some twists throughout. The art was top notch

3.5I love me some Krampus, and this was a funny, silly holiday story that managed to include some Santa legend history. Had the feel of the the old Myth books by Robert Aspirin. Some language, and a brief background shot of a [non-human?] stripper in a thong and bra, but would be okay for less conservative teen graphic novel collections.

There is is exactly one female character in this story who isn't just part of a background crowd scene - a scummy real estate agent who only is there for two pages to pass on some info to move the story from one plot point to the next. Other than that... zilch. The writers clearly did a LOT of work to research every single MALE winter holiday figure from all over time and the globe. There is one throwaway mention of "Mother Ginger" but other than that, not a single female holiday character menti...

Thank you Netgalley and Diamond Book Distributors for providing me with a free copy for review! This graphic novel is HILARIOUS! It was great story and plot, and this Krampus had me laughing out loud.Krampus has been in captivity by the Society of Santa Clauses for hundreds of years. Till one day, someone steals St. Nicholas skeletal remains in turn compromising all the Santa Clauses of the world magic. The only one that can save them now is Krampus, the Yule Lord. With his help he is to tak

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.Someone has stolen the bones of St Nicholas. The Secret Society of Santa Clauses have lost all their powers and in a desperate move decide to release Krampus to investigate the sinister goings on. This was a lot of fun, the story was engaging, funny and although Krampus is the 'bad guy' you can't help but like him and root for him to succeed in his mission. There were some nice pop culture references th...

I felt like the idea for a Society of Santa Clauses was a really well thought idea, and, of course The Krampus, and the sugar-plums fairies were cool characters, but I didn’t enjoy the story at all. The Krampus turned out to be too ”good”. I didn’t like him at all. The villain was way more likable than him. I hated that the villain had to be camp and was surrounded by pink fairies while The Krampus was the good old masculine hero who will save the world from all the “freaks”.

I had thought the movie A Christmas Horror Story (2015) was going to be this epic battle between Santa and Krampus. I was so disappointed after watching it. But ever since then I've been craving something of that description and this graphic novel was pretty close. Thanks. The violence isn't too bad or gory. I wouldn't classify this as horror. The art is decent. It's the story really that drew me in...the Santas have lost their power and enlist the help of Krampus to get it back.

'Krampus' is the kind of over the top graphic novel satire of Christmas that I don't mind reading this time of year. I thought this one was a bit better than some I've read.The Secret Society of Santa Clauses has a problem. Someone has stolen the bones of St. Nicholas and taken their magic. As reindeer plummet through the North Pole workshop, they know they have to take desperate measures, so they decide to enlist Krampus to help them. Krampus has been locked up for years for his usual brand of

Really, really good Krampus tale. Great art as well. Uses the iconography of Christmas in different and exciting ways.Reread 2021: Such a great story. Cleverly incorporates holiday iconography. Funny. Krampus is a great character. We need more of these.

I randomly picked this up on NetGalley because -- hello -- KRAMPUS! I adore goats and thus I adore the Krampus, so I could not really pass it by. This comic was a pretty cheeky and action-packed story, full of humor and nods to various Christmas traditions and cultures throughout the world. I thought the society of Santas was a great idea, and the way they had to rely on the Krampus to save their butts was awesome. This was a pretty fun little story, if a bit too action-story and less Krampus-aw...

"And zee KRAMPUS bows to No Man!"...So here it is. Being obsessed with that ancient yule lord KRAMPUS I was desperately trying ro read more about him. But of course Brom's KRAMPUS was undoubtedly a super hit novel to read. Although this was a comic book but even so I just couldn't put out the thought of Gerald Brom's creation of his KRAMPUS Novel...Now if you ask me about this comic which was all about the KRAMPUS well I will say it didn't do much impression on me if you know to what I am re

Loved it!!!!!
