Gwenpool Holiday Special Merry Mix-Up (2016)

Red Skull – a villain created to be as evil as any of his real life Nazi counterparts of World War II – receiving a lesson on political correctness is worth the price of admission. Toss in not one, but two stories featuring one of Stan Lee’s most alliterative creations, Fin Fang Foom, and the 2016 Gwenpool Holiday Special Merry Mix Up is worth double the $5.99 sticker.

If you’re not a regular reader, some of this may be confusing, but, as stated above, it’s all worth it in the long run.

It’s hard to follow every title with the increase on cover prices and the necessary evils like the electric company don’t understand the importance of comic books. Still, do a little research. I had to last year after the 2015 Gwenpool Holiday special, but it was worth it. Marvel has some great female characters headlining their own titles.

Bite the bullet and see where Marvel is going these days. But, start with this one.
