Comments: Here we see Santa not being so nice. Actually he is shown as a killing and causing much bloodshed. This Santa is hard edged and his main job is saving children while other Santa deliver the gifts. This version of Santa Claus is unlike any you have seen before. Sal here is uncouth yet he does do great work. He works for Jesus Christ literally. This Jesus also is not what you would expect. 
  Not even Jesus can keep the peace among the Santa's. Cedrick hates Sal and the feeling is mutual. One delivers toys and the other justice. 
  The art is presented well in showcasing the characters here. This is a unique take on the Santa Claus legend. The elves do have a cute side to their appearance. Jesus is drawn to look to match his job here of running the show so he is a business man and son of God. 
  Jesus Christ may promote peace on Earth for the most part but it is great to see him here having Sal take care of those who would hurt children. Those people do need to be punished and feel the wrath of God.

Comments: This is not your ordinary Santa Claus story. Santa or Sal does have the elves giving him some specialized equipment. Sal is part of the Santa Squad. The way the Santa's workshop operates is unlike anything you have ever seen or imagined for Christmas. 
  Sal does have a most unique mission. Jesus yes that Jesus is large and in charge here he guides the missions. What Sal does most would applaud. Sal is good at what he does even though it does cause a lot of stress. 
  The art beautifully brings across the characters. The stealth jets are a cool touch and the hi-tech rifles perfectly drawn. Sal in action is a thing not of beauty but of necessity. He does what needs to be done or at least what should be done. 
  The last part of this book really drives home why Sal does what he does. He may seem cruel at times but only to those who deserve it. He does bring a Merry Christmas to those who really deserve it most of all.
