‘Tis the season to read comics, and this week brings several new holiday specials from DC, Marvel, Top Cow and more. I’m such a jolly fellow that I put them at the top of the stocking this time.

SDCC | It’s Christmas in July (and August, and September …) in ‘Christmas 365’

Mikey Way, Jonathan Rivera and Piotr Kowalski get jolly in a new miniseries coming from Dark Horse this December.
