DEVIANT DLX ED HC JOSHUA HIXSON CVR (MR)

Eisner-nominated for Best Limited Series! Hannibal meets Silent Night, Deadly Night in this pitch-black holiday horror story that dissects our most unspoken cultural taboos.

When the snow falls over Milwaukee in 1972, a blood-smeared Santa commits unspeakable atrocities against young men. Fifty years later, a troubled young writer interviews the so-called "Deviant Killer," who, behind bars, still maintains his innocence. And as Christmas approaches once more, the past returns — with a sharpened axe.

Eisner-winning writer James Tynion IV (The Department of Truth, Exquisite Corpses) and acclaimed artist Joshua Hixson (Shanghai Red, Absolute Batman, The Plot) team up for a psychological crime thriller about the intersection of queer identities, societal transgressions, and deviance.
