The Five Most Insane Christmas Comics Ever


The rundown, care of Comics Alliance.

From the piece describing the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special Issue...

Eventually, he makes it to Santa Himself, who -- just like in all the stories you heard growing up -- lives with a gorilla.

Santa challenges Lobo to a knife fight and -- this being a Lobo comic -- Lobo not only wins, but uses Santa's list, sleigh and reindeer to drop nuclear warheads on every child in the world. And then, in the framing sequence, a man kills his family with a shotgun. And then Lobo literally gives the reader the middle finger.

That One Guy With The Ponytail hailed it as "the best f---in' Christmas story, like, ever, man," just before he got a tattoo of barbed wire around his bicep.

Very impressive! A little disturbing, but very impressive. I think my favorite was the one where Santa has a Christmas-tree-shaped mind control hat. :P
