It comes around quicker every year... Hot on the heels of DC announcing the first of its holiday titles last week comes the reveal of a new Christmas-themed horror comic from Image. The Deviant, written by James Tynion IV, drawn by Joshua Hixson, and lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, is a nine-issue miniseries about a Santa-themed serial killer.
Image's synopsis for the new comic reveals that it takes place over two time periods, stating: "As snow falls over Milwaukee in 1972, a blood-stained Santa Claus commits unimaginable atrocities against young men. Fifty years later, a troubled young writer interviews this so-called 'Deviant Killer,' who still maintains his innocence from behind bars. And as Christmas approaches once again, the past returns, wielding a sharpened ax."
