In the mood to add some Christmas spirit to your comic book reading? Here are some holiday themed selections flying onto comic shop shelves to add to your seasonal festivities:
BATMAN + SANTA CLAUSE: SILENT KNIGHT RETURNS
A new comic book in this 5-issue mini-series will be released each week leading up to Christmas. Based upon the success of last year's Batman team up with Santa, DC Comics is bringing them together again for another Christmas adventure.
BATMAN SMELLS, ROBIN LAID AN EGG
Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, the Batmobile lost a wheel… and you know the rest! Read six merry tales about characters from DC Comics set during the holiday season. Be enthralled by Dr. Midnight's literally silent night and ponder the question: in a world without the Joker's torment, is it really a wonderful life? Probably not.
MARVEL HOLIDAY TALES TO ASTONISH
An anthology of Marvel superhero hijinks. First, you're invited to the Fantastic Four's Holiday Party! But who are the uninvited guests? Then, in a tale of Hanukkahs past, can Kitty Pryde scramble to save the day while struggling to shop for gifts for her merry X-Men? And ring in the New Year, with Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as only Spider-Men can!
TOP COW HOLIDAY SPECIAL
Snuggle up by the fire, but stay out of the shadows, as you enjoy The Top Cow Holiday Special, featuring three eight-page tales based on classic holiday stories with a Top Cow twist! Marguerite Bennett and Giuseppe Cafaro bring you a tale from Witchblade, where Sara flashes back to her grandmother and the story of "The Befana," the Italian Christmas Witch! Marc Silvestri and Tina Valentino team up to bring a heartwarming Christmas tale from The Darkness, featuring Santa Claus, a family of Darklings, and an old friend who joins the fun based on "The Night Before Christmas." Matt Hawkins and Atilio Rojo put Aphrodite IX through her paces as she navigates a deadly series of mazes based on "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
DREAD THE HALLS
The perfect holiday stocking stuffer — a collection of horror tales by Image Comics to read curled up by the light of the Yule log! "Be of Good Fear!" Long before Americans celebrated horror on Halloween, the Victorians did it gathered around a fireplace on Christmas Eve. Dread the Halls honors this macabre tradition by wishing you and yours "Happy Holidays" with stories of ghosts, ghastly abominations, and vile creatures. Covers by red-hot artists Maria The Wolf, Marguerite Sauvage, wrapping-paper variant by Jordan Hart, and a holiday homage cover by Lee Ferguson will be hitting comic shop shelves.
