“One of my favorites among
the multitude of Xmas stories!”

It’s that festive time of the year and what’s a better way to celebrate than with a rolicking adventure from the legendary Darwyn Cooke? It’s got everything: The Fantastic Four, Inhumans, mind control, lost children, shopping a Macy’s, and a tender J. Jonah Jamison. Oh, and Spider-Man saves the day of course. It’s just nice.

Also, we pick our top 5 (6) comics of the year in no particular order:
