Santa Claus vs The Zombies is a short, independent comic produced right here in the ZRC’s home state of Michigan. It’s told in a rhyming style reminiscent of the classic Christmas poem “A Visit From St. Nicholas” but avoids directly aping it. With a name like Santa Claus vs The Zombies you kinda know what you’re getting in to and I’m glad to report this comic doesn’t disappoint.
One would think that a 16 page comic about Santa Claus fighting zombies wouldn’t leave a whole lot of room for exposition, but author Jet Rosas does a wonderful job of keeping the story flowing and the pages turning. Erin, who is not a comic book fan, even found it surprisingly good and raved about it. The art is dynamic, colorful, and conveys a sense of motion and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. It’s also in full color which is a nice touch and shows off artist Angela Crouch’s work.
This review was difficult to write without giving away the story, but just take our word that it’s an awesome book that made us smile a whole lot. It will be available soon from Strange Holiday Comics and Comixpress. And it’s only $4.00! Order one for yourself and one to give away to a friend - I’m sure this will make a great stocking stuffer.
