I'm mixing horror with science fiction for this week's Science Fiction Saturday post. You can get Santa Claus Conquers the Martians/Beast From Haunted Cave DVD at Amazon hosted by none other than Elvira herself. The former movie is one of my favorite's Christmas movies and I watch it every year.

This Action Comics #93 Cover T-shirt at Amazon would make a great Christmas gift for the Superman fan. It's available for men and women in a variety of sizes ranging from small to 6x. You can also get different colored fabric including black, navy blue, heather grey, red and hunter green. I wouldn't mind having one of these too (hint, hint).

I also picked up this Hot Wheels Batman 5-pack 2926 last week as an early Christmas present to myself. I found it at the local Walmart's and it was the only one so I had to grab it before it was gone. The diecast vehicles include the Batmobile from the 1989 Batman movie, Gotham City Police Department SWAT Armored Truck, Killer Croc 70s Van, Catwoman Blvd Bruiser and the Batplane from tv's Batman: Animated Series. This makes my eighth Batman 5-pack.
I bought myself an early Christmas last week when I found this Hot Wheels 2026 Metalflake gray The Batman Batmobile at the local Dollar Tree. I was surprised that I found and had to get it since it was the only on the pegs. It's #1 of 5 in the Batman subset and #4 of 250 in the main set. The windows are smoke tinted and based on the Batmobile from The Batman (2022) movie. The back of the card has a copyright year of 2025.
DC Comics released Teen Titans Go #10 last week. The cover features Madame Rogue peeping in the window while members of the Teen Titans and Doom Patrol enjoy a Christmas meal. The Teen Titans include Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Robin while the Doom Patrol include Robotman, Negative Girl, Elasti-Girl and Niles Caulder aka the Chief. There is also a backup story/preview of DC's Misfits of Magic, a graphic novel, featuring Blue Devil and Zatanna that is now on sale.
Here's the official summary:
"The holidays are full of hijinks! Instead of a white Christmas, or even a blue Christmas, it’s a Rouge Christmas for the Teen Titans! As in Madame Rouge, the shape-shifting villain who wants to make it an unhappy holiday for Beast Boy and his adoptive family, the Doom Patrol."
Archie's Christmas Spectacular #1 was released earlier this week from Archie Comics. The cover features Jughead, Archie, Veronica, Betty and Hot Dog decorating a giant Christmas tree. Here's the official summary:
"Celebrate the season Archie style, now packed with over 30 PAGES of content, including a BRAND-NEW STORY! The ultimate Christmas bash is happening at the North Pole, and SANTA’s helpers SUGARPLUM and JINGLES are competing to be the best dancers on the ice. But when they bring ARCHIE, BETTY, and VERONICA in to hype up the game, their hasty mash ups could put the entire party in peril!"
Dread the Halls 2025 #1 was released earlier this week by Image Comics. This 72-page one-shot is filled with christmas tales with twists of horror. Here is the official summary:
"Dread the Halls returns to haunt another Christmas season with a 72-page gift of all-new tales of holiday horrors for only $6.99! This time out, Jordan Hart and Luana Vecchio deliver a seasonal blend of Hallmark movie and brutal revenge flick; Chris Ryall and Keithan Jones turn Mars red when “The Martians Conquer Santa Claus!”; Walter Pax and Fábio Veras return to the series rendering festive terror; and Ryall and Lee Ferguson close things out with an even darker Christmas Carol!"
This week's T-shirt Thursday spotlight is the Stranger Things Hellfire Club Holiday T-shirt that features a demon wearing Santa's hat. The Hellfire Club is the high school's Dungeons & Dragon's club on the Netflix series. While there was a gentlemen's club in the 18th Century with the same name, Marvel's Hellfire Club debuted in The Uncanny X-Men #129 (January 1980). You can purchase a Stranger Things Hellfire Club Holiday T-shirt at Amazon here. (This is a sponsored post).
This week's Women Wednesday post spotlights Vampirella Helliday 2025 Special #1 that was released last week. It's a sequel to last year's special so if you missed that then may Krampus put you in his sack. I can't decide which cover is my favorite since #1A is by Joseph Michael Linser, #1B is by Celina and #1C features cosplayer Rachel Hollon.
Here's the official summary:
"I SAW VAMPI BITING SANTA CLAUS! In the aftermath of last year’s North Pole shenanigans, Vampirella finds herself facing off against the spirits of every major holiday that the calendar has to offer — all determined to thwart her magnanimous mission to make the winter solstice season magical once more!"
This is a cool holiday sweatshirt featuring Batman and Little Batman. You can purchase a Merry Little Batman Saving Christmas Sweatshirt at Amazon. (This is a sponsored post).
Let's start off this year's Countdown to Christmas with DC's I Saw Ma Hukel Kissing Santa Claus #1. The issue actually came out the day before Thanksgiving but I decided to post it now. The cover features Stargirl, Jay Garrick aka the Golden Age Flash and Jade watching Ma Hunkel kissing Santa Claus. There are eight stories featuring Ma Hunkel aka the Golden Age Red Tornado (some members of the Justice Society also appears briefly), Dr. Light (guest starring the Atom and a few other superheroes), the Captain (he's still Captain Marvel to me), Galaxy, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Animal Man (guest starring the Phantom Stranger) and the Martian Manhunter.
Here's the official summary:
"Ah, the holidays. A time for joy and togetherness, presents and carols… and emotions, drama, and chaos galore. Join our merry gang of heroes and villains as they navigate the highs and lows of holiday romance. Supergirl kicks off her winter vacation with a blind date! Galaxy tries (and fails) to clear her superhero-ing schedule to spend Hanukkah with her sweetheart! And so much more! Warm up your winter with this collection of heartwarming and heart-racing tales coming to shelves this holiday season!"
