'I thought it was such a franchise-able thing. It allows me to create my own Batman, my own Superman, my own Doctor Who. There's so much you can do with this character. Everyone's familiar with it, but no one really knows him. It was all about just getting to the roots of this thing. Here's a massive icon everyone around the world knows -- how deep can we dig, how can we we make him human? We take this quite seriously, and do it like Frank Miller did "Batman: Year One," but with Santa Claus.' -- Grant Morrison

G-g-g-GHOST ALIENS!

Well that seems... rather eccentric. Apparently getting stoned in snowy wastelands means that the ghost aliens visit and suddenly your up to your eyeballs in leftovers from The Stuff of Legend

I suppose at some point he'll get so hooked on "healing potion" that it'll lead to his legendary girth...

The last page from the book, I love the utterly perplexed look on both of their faces. Icon fuel if ever there was any.

The art here is truly beautiful, I love it.

The story seems clichè yet endearing and with a likeable protagonist, so overall I have a good opinion of it too.

Out of everything you have shown, pretty much the only thing I don't like is the cover. If I had seen it in the comic book store, I would have assumed it was the typical GREEE MACHO GRIMDARK stuff and would have immediately ignored it.

GodDAMN kudos to that colorist. Those hallucinogenic panels were gorgeous!

...not sure I can say much else except, "huh" to the rest.

Interesting, they're using the idea of elves as aliens that seems to be being knocked about lately (or even the opposite in the Discworld).
