If you think that Christmas should be just full of cheery women and jolly men, then you might want to skip Grimm Universe Presents Quarterly: 2023 Holiday Special from Zenescope Entertainment. The cover alone shows a buxom blonde sitting on a demon's knee in the office. The horror tale is about the boss giving three very special gifts to his employees. The first gift is a car while the second gift is a watch. The third and final gift is a fur coat. There is a final twist in which the boss gets a special gift from his boss.

Countdown to Christmas 2023 Day 9: A Home For KAKEman Book

If you grew up in Kansas in the 1970s and 1980s, then you may have fond memories of KAKEman. He was the toy assistant to Santa Claus (Henry Harvey) on Santa's Workshop, which appeared on KAKE (Channel 10) every weekday afternoon in December. He became Toyboy when the tv show switched to KWCH (Channel 12). Now he's back in a children's book by Cassidy Sutton titled A Home For KAKEman.

Countdown to Christmas 2023 Day 6: Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1 Cover

DC Comics released Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1 today. The cover features Superman reading a classic Batman comic book from the Golden Age to a boy sitting on his lap. Santa Claus is pictured in the "word balloon" above Superman. Batman and Wonder Woman are in the background along with a bunch of wicked bat-like creatures.

The issue is titled "Ghosts of Christmas Past" and starts with Batman and Robin (Damian) investigating the deaths of carolers murdered by bat-like creatures. Robin's first thought is that Man-Bat is the culprit but then Zatanna shows up to reveal that the creatures are the Draug, which are Nordic vampires. They are attacked by the Draug and Santa Claus shows up on Prancer. Batgirl and Nightwing are then shown fighting the Draug before Santa Claus and his new friends joins them.

There's more to the story but I won't spoil it all here. Yeah, this Christmas tale is nice horror element and I can't wait to read Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #2. Maybe next year, DC Comics will put out a Santa Claus, Vampire Hunter mini-series that will last from October to December.
