DC Comics released Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #3 last Wednesday. The cover features Santa Claus painting a Mary Marvel figurine. Metamorpho and Robotman in the foreground.

Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish #1 Cover

Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish #1 came out yesterday. The cover features Storm, Captain America (the Sam Wilson version), Spider-Man (the Miles Morales version), Kitty Pryde, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Ben Grimm and Spider-Man (the Peter Parker version). The three stories include the Fantastic Four in "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas", the Uncanny X-Men in "Festival of Fights" and the Spectacular Spider-Men in "Resolutions". Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman and the Human Torch does appear in the Fantastic Four story along with the Thing. Several other Marvel superheroes appear briefly in the first two stories. Shame that none of the stories are centered around Captain America (the Sam Wilson version) or Doctor Strange like the cover suggests. At least, Storm and Wolverine appear more in the X-Men story that is about Kitty Pryde trying to find gifts for her friends.

Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 Cover

Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 (January, 2025) came out this week just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving today. The cover features Batman, Robin, Zatanna and Santa Claus. The story actually contains most of the Justice League. I think this is the first time that I noticed that Flash's daughter is named Thunderheart. Yes, this mini-series is a sequel to last year's mini-series.

Countdown to Christmas 2023 Day 20: Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #3 Cover

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.

Countdown to Christman 2023 Day 14: Grimm Universe Presents Quarterly: 2023 Holiday Special Covers

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.
