The goal is to mend a broken marriage and regain the love that brought them together. Discover the untold origin of Mrs. Claus and Santa Claus as they fight their way through bone and guts in this all-out-blood-soaked holiday epic as they give the gift of vengeance. “WILD! BOLD! BLOODY! BEAUTIFUL!” —Daniel Warren Johnson (Transformers, Wonder Woman Dead Earth, Do A Powerbomb) "Not only is EVE impressive in its scope, it delivers a story that’s brutal, funny, and ice-cold. Mungiello’s passion for the medium is laid bare on every page. This book is a portal to the 1980s indie comics boom, with heavy inkwork that brings to life tactile creatures, cousins of Richard Corben’s monsters. You’ll feel the chill of winter air—just try not to get any blood on you". —Kyle Strahm, artist of Twig and Spread "This should be a 90s arcade game." —Kyle Strahm, artist of Twig and Spread "Someone, please, make action figures." —Kyle Strahm, artist of Twig and Spread “A fantastical fresh take on old folklore, and one hell of a sleigh ride!” —Shawn Daley (Samurai Grandpa, TMNT, Power Rangers, TerraQuill) “Every ounce of ink—and pounds of the substance were used to make this handmade haunted holiday hallmark card—bubbles and writhes with the stuff of creation in EVE, cartoonist John Mungiello’s Longform debut and one hell of Xmas story.” —Chris Stevens (Editor Ax Wielder-Jon) “It’s rare to see a young cartoonist make their debut with so bold a statement. With EVE John Mungiello puts his heart (and a whole bunch of viscera) on his sleeves and wades into the fray with no less fervor than his axe—wielding, barbarian Santa Claus who carves a bloody swath across a black metal North Pole hellscape on a rescue mission of vengeance! Evoking Simon Bisley, Steve Dillon, Warhammer Fantasy, Prison Pit, and Metal Hurlant, EVE is sometimes raw, but always earnest, and never anything less than an absolute blast to read. Mungiello shows us the full fervor of his love of comics and isn’t ashamed to flex every muscle of his skill, even the ones he’s still developing. Eisner judges may scoff, but this right here is what comics are all about.” —Sebastian Girner (The Dead and the Damned, The Devil’s Red Bride, Editor of Punisher Max and Southern Bastards)
