The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1029: Man-Thing v.3 #3, February 1998

https://www.comics.org/issue/61413/


So, not quite a Christmas comic, really, but I couldn't resist that cover. Seriously. Man-ta Claus. Santa-Thing. Brilliant.

Can't say much about the story, except to say that I think this series is going to have to go to the top of my list of series to finish. The art and the writing are just wonderful. J.M. DeMatteis is a great writer, and I just haven't read enough of his work. This reads a bit like Rachel Pollack's Doom Patrol, a bit like Moore's Swamp Thing, and a whole lot like Gerber's original run on this title. So cool.

And a bit Christmas-y, I guess.

To be continued.
