Welcome back, everyone! Just a quick reminder of what our goal for each and every Saturday is: Stirring the pot is the act of causing trouble for the sake of your own amusement. So we here at Comic Booked would like to formally invite you to discuss, debate, and start some shit talkin’ about the characters, the creators, and the storylines given to us from the industry we all know and love, hate, and love to hate. So let’s quit wasting time and start the mud (or web) slinging!
This Saturday’s question: What is your favorite holiday-themed comic story?
So go forth and debate! But be sure to back up your responses. Don’t be scared. And don’t give up. After all, no one likes a quitter. And you’re not a quitter, are you?
I loved Krampus from Image. This is a very interesting series that just started. Evil Sugar Plum Fairies (are there any other kinds) stole the bones of Saint Nicholas and disrupted all the magic of the Secret Society of Santa Clauses. Now Krampus, the creature that punishes naughty children, is the only one with power enough to find the bones and save Christmas. Very funny, good artwork, and all around fun.
Uncanny X-Men #341, where Cannonball beat Gladiator on Christmas Eve.
my personal favorite is the detective comics issue where joker kidnaps robin and drives over last minute holiday shoppers. a close second place goes to the epilogue of no man’s land, where commissioner gordon raises a toast to a new year (and a new gotham) at sarah essen-gordon’s grave.
