A-yup. It's that time of the year when Scott might be funny. Let's see what kind of an epic battle this holiday season brings with it.

Also, where do I get a cape like that?

Ugh, not this crap again.

It was kind of funny the first time, but this is the fifth year now, leave the poor beaten horse alone.

Yup.

After the Jack Kirby homage back in Aught Seven, it just hasn't been nearly as good.

At least it's not another "I wish I was Bill Watterson" strip.

Kringus was never funny. Cute the first time the "cat in the christmas tree" joke was done, but not funny. The whole kringus vs santa claus thing, however, is just bland.

At first, I thought Cole was on a toilet. It got less funny when it turned out he wasn't.

Therefore making it better times infinity when compared to today's strip.

Epic Christmas
— December 7th, 2009

Next week we’re starting an epic story arc. The final showdown between Scratch Fury and Santa Claus himself.

Scratch thinks he’s going to kill Santa. Santa has been preparing all year for Scratch. after last year’s battle with Jingle Force Five he knows Kringus will be coming.

We literally have a team working on these strips. Not just me. But at TEAM. There are at least, five people working on this story. Me, two story coordinators, a colorist and a second artist.

What artist you ask? Well, I don’t want to reveal JUST yet. But I will tell you this: He’s famous. Comic book famous. He’s an industry legend. And he attended this year’s Harvey Awards. Those are all the clues you’re getting right now. Don’t worry, despite a guest artist collaborating with me, this storyline will remain in PvP CONTINUITY

Okay that’s the LAST clue. Seriously.

More on this as we get closer.

Interesting..

Don't worry. Before we'll see Santa Claus with humongous muscular man-titties we'll get to see Kurt skirt with copyright with Davis and the Prairie Dogs.

My question is why is the cat wearing Dr.Strange's cape.

Is that some kind of reference to him having magical powers? I thought the cat was supposed to just be smart? Now he can fold time and space?

Kurt really should get his own references straight.

So, the clue is 'continuity'? Only person that leads me to is Neal Adams. Didn't Kurtz say he met Neal Adams a while ago? And he was at the Harvey awards... Seems like too big a name, but thats what the clues might suggest. Or I'm completely wrong.
Any other ideas?

Why does he feel the need to hype a story arc? The last time he did that we got Shecky and we know how well that turned out.

Dec 8, 2009#25

He hypes it for the same reason he hypes anything. He's excited about it, and wants to share his excitement.

Now if only he had a place where his fans could show their excitement at his excitement...

Anyone notice how much excrement looks like excitement?

X-Men reference last year with Santa as Prof X as i recall, so i'm guessing he's just continuing that, and as the cat is learning magic for the fight Doc Strange fits (Scratch would be more Doom though).

the worst part about the Jingle Force Five was that it was exactly the same as an episode of 'The Kids Next Door' where they fight Wintergreen (Wolverine), Nutcracker (Nightcrawler), Coniferous (Colossus), and Snow Angel (Storm). Santa is Professor X.

The only thing that made it seem original is that I doubt kurtz watches shows like that...

Instead of Kirby, it's a word-for-word ripoff of Byrne this year.

But I must admit, Friday's had me laughing.

Selgeron

So, now that this is over, what was everyones take?

...A bit grim, but an unexpected ending for me so I liked it.

The art seemed weird to me though, but I am not a big follower of print comics so the appeal of a guest artist wasnt as big for me.

Dec 29, 2009#39

Dave

It was very, VERY anti-climactic. He took out Santa and then had a change of heart instead of some epic battle as advertised. The lead up was much better than the execution. I mean, the one where Santa is ripped and they talk about it instead of fighting was fucking hilarious! But the rest was...I don't know. I just couldn't get into it.

Dec 29, 2009#40

Bonhomme Richard

I agree the whole thing was incredibly anti-climactic. I stopped reading PVP cause it just didn't appeal to me anymore, but thought I'd give this arc a chance since it had so much hype. As usual, very let down. Plus, all I could think about was the worst TOS episode ever.

I think is what happens when you want to tell an epic story but don't want to do all the work of telling an epic story.

Based on this arc and previous endeavours, it seems that Kurtz is simply unable to bring anything to a worthwhile climax.

Which might explain why we've never heard of him having kids... [/lowblow]

Really disappointed with the whole arc. Could have been much more, needed to be longer to really fill out some things, and the art was just not right for PvP.

Have you seen him and his wife. To quote Austin Powers, "How is it possible.. No, I mean, literally, HOW could you do it? The man's so fat, the sheer mechanics of it are mind-boggling. "

If this storyline shows what Scott is capable of designing and writing when all of the art is offloaded to another individual...he should do the opposite. He's a good artist, but his writing and storytelling are just not up to par with what he imagines in his head.
