This is the best Marvel Holiday Special of all time. Think I’m lying? Check this out. If you need another reason, it’s got Mole Man’s Christmas…
That’s cute and awesome. And yes, that’s Namor as Santa Claus. Basic plot: Giganto kidnaps mall Santas so the Moloids can enjoy Christmas, and the FF/Namor rescue them. But there’s lots more along the way. Excellent.
It also has Spider-Man fighting an Ultron Santa. He calls himself Santron.
Marvel’s cross-promotional powers are in full effect as new character Gravity appears, as well as Hurricane getting his own story–the third one in this issue.
This, I believe, is the Marvel UK character’s first appearance in 616 continuity.
Stories that reimagine canon, tales with warmth, and lots of humor. There is simply nothing better for the Holidays.
Thanks for posting! Some fun stories for Christmas!
