GLX-Mas Special (2005)

This special is a bunch of short stories about the Great Lakes Avengers, all written by Don Slott and illustrated by various folks–some of whom are marquee names.

Mister Immortal is choked to death with a Christmas wreath.

Squirrel Girl does a fastball special with Tippy Toe in a fight against MODOK and then defeats Thanos.

This IS canon.

There’s lots of Squirrel Girl and Tippy in this issue–it’s clearly the one that’s intended to “launch” the character.

All that and the first appearance of a new Grasshopper!

Who is apparently Jewish.

Utter nonsense. But fun. And one of Marvel’s best Christmas comics.
