Infinite Crisis Christmas Special -- Please explain

[shaxper]

What the heck is this?

The synopsis implies that it's just a series of Christmas related stories within the DCU, but then why call it an "Infinite Crisis" Christmas special? Just a ploy to make more dough, or is there a chance of some significant events/revelations happening within?

*lol*
It's a way to get us fanboys to fork over money.
:)


It DOES have a Batwoman story, so I may but it for that.

Loosely, because it features a lot of the characters introduce in Infinite Crisis!

But otherwise, it's appears to be pure marketing and looks like a way to get us to fork over our money.

A "Christmas special" with significant revelations? Wouldn't count on it. It's supposed to be a fun book with random stories about random characters, and with any luck a little bit o' Ambush Bug for flavor! DC is sorely lacking in mindlessly fun books any more, so I'm really eager to see how this thing goes.

I thoroughly agree, but the Infinite Crisis association sort of kills this for me. I don't equate mindless fun with a company-wide crisis.

Oh, and it isn't Infinite Crisis Christmas Special. It's just Infinite Christmas Special. "Infinite" and "Crisis" at DC are akin to "Secret" and "War" at Marvel when it comes to designing a pastiche about themselves, so it makes perfect sense.

I heard that Jack Frost pokes out Santa's eyes and says no more jolly faces!

Then Frosty punches Rudolph's head off!

Then Jesus saves everyone but then he dies fighting Baby Jesus Prime.

lol
Sadly, I think I'd buy that...

[Jack Zodiac]

Buy it? !@#$% that, I'd frame it. I'd blow up a picture of Baby Jesus Prime in the Anti-Christ armor getting smacked around by Super God, Super Yahweh, and Super Jesus.

That's the reason right there; it's a pun. Puns are delicious Christmas hams. (That's a metaphor. Metaphors are like presents underneath the Christmas tree. That's a simile. Simile's are like overwrought messageboard posts explaining well-known English terms. That's sarcasm. Sarcasm is...)

[Sean Walsh]

It's DC being silly.

"We should do a Christmas special."
"But no one buys those. Nothing happens in them."
"What if we call it an INFINITE Christmas Special?!"
"BRILLIANT!"

[MWGallaher]

And now it's "Infinite Holiday Special", so they've lost the pun.
Still, DC's Christmas specials have usually been fun, so it should be worth it for anthology lovers like me.

WHAT?! Damn that Communist Wal-Mart and their war against Christmas! Now it's spilling over into comics. When will it end?!
