Tis the night before Christmas and there’s trouble at the North Pole. Jingle, a frustrated elf, has taken one too many perceived slights from the Big Boss. So he puts an evil spell on Santa’s cache of Ninja teddy bears. The nunchuck-wielding plushies spring to life, terrorizing Santa’s workshop and threatening the celebration of Christmas! Who will save the day? Why, Santa, of course!
Morphing from jolly St. Nick to his butt-kicking alter ego, Manga Claus, Santa pulls forth his magical katana, the Blade of Kringle, and dispatches the Ninja teddies—preserving Christmas for all mankind. This funny, postmodern graphic novel will delight adults, hip teens, and young manga enthusiasts alike!

The book is not all that bad, believe it or not it’s tamer that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A fun read to escape from the the usual Christmas fare.
