This is the last post for 2023 so I thought I would end it with something special. I spent 500 reward points at Disney Movie Rewards a few weeks ago to get the limited edition Walt Disney With Magazine Pop. He's #78 in the Dieney 100 Pop!Icons series.His suit is actually a lighter gray than the pictures show since I used my tablet to take the pictures.
As a bonus, I received this Mickey Mouse pin:
Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year's Eve.
Christmas may be over but Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #4 is now out from DC Comics. The cover features Batman, Robin, Santa Claus and Krampus. Black Canary, Batgirl, Nightwing, Green Arrow, Blue Beetle and Miss Martian help Batman and Santa Claus battle a possessed Superman and banished monsters. Meanwhile, Krampus has Robin locked in a cage in a place called the Gnome Hall. Wonder Woman, Green Lantern Jo Mullein and Hawkgirl arrive to help Batman and the gang. This is the last issue of the mini-series and the ending was great.
Who is Ruby Sokov? She is the daughter of Vladimir Sokov aka the Red Lantern. She is on the cover of Justice Society of America #8 hitting the newsstands today from DC Comics. She is also the subject for this week's Women Wednesday post and the last one for 2023.
Merry Christmas from everyone here at Moongem Comics (okay, it's just me, Jamdin aka James). Here are two pictures of Elvira in her sexy Santa Claus suit:
Happy Holidays from Batman and Robin thanks to Dick Sprang:
Capwolf and the Howling Commandos #3 is out now and the cover features a showdown between Capwolf and the villainess, Ros. Inside this issue, she asks him to join her but refuses and then the battle is on. This will be concluded in the next issue.
Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman are on the cover of Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #3 from DC Comics. This makes for a great Women Wednesday post for Christmas. The issue starts with Hawkgirl, Green Lantern Jo Mullein and Wonder Woman fighting Harpies in London. Then the scene switches to Blue Beetle meeting up with Superman, Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Robin and Miss Martian. Yes, this is starting to feel more like a Justice League book at this point. They are expecting Santa Claus to show up but Peppermint Jon, a Huldufolk aka an elf, shows up instead. He takes them to Norway via a portal where Santa is fighting a sea serpent named Gandr. Superman punches the beast but is excited to meet Santa. He helps him lead the beast to the secret valley while Peppermint Jon teleports the other superheroes to Greenland ahead of them. They find Krampus and attack before Santa and Superman arrive. Superman gets possessed and attacks the others before Krampus teleports away with Robin. More monsters show up thanks to Superman destroying a glacier. This sets up the next and final issue due out next week.
It's Christmas at SuperCity Islands, which is an online game. I've been playing it for the past few months on Facebook. The Halloween event was more fun but I take what I can get.
Christmas is a week away so enjoy this cover of Roy Rogers Comics #61 (1953) from Dell:
Marvel fans are getting a nice Christmas present this year from Disney. What If...? season 2 starts on Disney+ beginning on Friday, December 22, 2023. A new episode will air daily for nine days.

Set in 1990, Hellboy Winter Special: The Yule Cat finds Hellboy in Iceland investigating rumors of the Jolakotturinn, which is a big cat eating children that had not earned enough to buy new clothes for Christmas. Of course, the finds something more than he bargained for.
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.
There are also two other covers featuring women that I wouldn't mind having. I'm sure they are both on Santa's naughty list.
DC's 'Twas the 'Mite Before Christmas #1 is this year 80-page holiday special that comes out this week.

Bunker stars in "It's A Bunkerful Life" followed by Bat-Mite in "Wonderful Toys."
Don't forget that Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #2 will be released this week from DC Comics. The cover features Batman, Santa Claus and Krampus. Miss Martin, Green Arrow and Black Canary appears to help Batman, Robin, Batgirl and NIghtwing fight the vampire-like Draug. Zatanna is still in a coma-like state and Santa's helpers are still looking for a special flower. A surprise guest star also shows up to help at the end.

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. All proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Wichita to help families of children with critical conditions to receive the support they need.

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.
Batman/Santa Clause: Silent Knight is a four-issue mini-series from DC Comics coming this December. The two team up to battle Krampus in Gotham.
I didn't think I would find the Batman: The Animated Series Gold Batmobile in any of the local stores so I put it on my Christmas wish list. I was suprised to find one at the local Walmart's this past Saturday. It's #5 in the Batman subset and #169 of 250 in the 2023 main set.

Disney Movie Insiders had two new Funko Pops promoting The Marvels movie a few weeks ago. One was Captain Marvel for 800 points and the other was Photon for 500 points. I had enough points to get either one but not both. Since the Photon Funko Pop was for a limited time, I decided to get that one. I'm so glad that I did too because she's awesome and the photos below does not do her justice. There are six figures in this set that includes Captain Marvel, Photon, Ms. Marvel, Dar-Benn, Nick Fury and Prince Yan.
You can watch the What If... Season Two trailer here. The nine episodes will start on December 22, 2023 on Disney+ and run for nine days straight.
Last Tuesday found me getting another Disney 100 Happy Meal from the local McDonald's. I got the usual cheeseburger, fries and Coke. I also got Stitch and Ms. Marvel mini figurines. The Stitch figurine will probably go to my sister since she loves the little alien. My favorite of the two, of course, is Ms. Marvel. The mini figurine stands at 2 1/4" tall including the clear base. She has both arms raised and her left is all purple to indicate that she is using her powers.
Looking for an unique Christmas gift to give that special Marvel man in your life? Then check out the Dr. Squatch's Avengers Soap Collection at Amazon that come in a custom collector's box.. The four bars of soap include Hulk Scrub Smash, Captain America Liberty Lather, Iron Man Stark Cleanse and Thor Divine Storm.
