Superman’s Christmas Adventure (1944)
Superman may have been one of the original pop-culture phenoms. Following his first appearance in Action Comics issue one his fandom grew exponentially with his likeness featured in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and The Adventures of Superman radio program both offered in 1940.
By 1942 Action Comics, Superman and Superman Quarterly were reportedly selling 1.5 million issues a month. The following year Superman hit the big screen in animated form courtesy of Fleischer Studios.
It’s no surprise the Man of Steel would be sought after for further promotional roles following the 1940 volume one of Superman’s Christmas Adventure. As with the first go round Superman’s Christmas Adventure volume two was a give-away for department stores and other companies.
Scooby Apocalypse
This is the book everyone should be reading.
Imagine Scooby-Doo and Mystery Inc. mashed with Resident Evil and elements of the Walking Dead. That’s Scooby Apocalypse.
The gifted tag-team of Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis reimagines those meddling kids in a world devoid of any of the pop-flower power culture amidst which they were spawned in 1969.
For their 20th offering Scooby Apocalypse presents a post-apocalyptic Christmas – of sorts. More plot than season driven and not an issue to jump on board with. Just a nice present for the faithful fans.
Santa She-Hulk

New Year’s Eve
When you reach that age where this constitutes a fun and exciting New Year’s Eve.
And to be honest, I can’t say I mind it much.
Happy New Year, everyone.
