MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECIAL 2006 - More Fun Than It Has Any Right To Be

[Expletive Deleted]

1. "AIM Lang Syne", featuring AIM's office Christmas Party (with MODOK trying to pick up chicks and Arnim Zola telling a joke).

2. "How Fin Fang Foom Saved Christmas!", featuring Wong and the miniaturized Foom-y One (see MARVEL MONSTERS: FIN FANG FOUR) fighting Hydra on Christmas Eve.

3. "A Is For ANNIHILUS!", in which Annihilus learns the true meaning of Christmas. Sort of.

4. An Official Handbook entry for Santa Claus.

If these four things don't inspire you to go out and buy it right away, you have no soul. There, I said it.

Plus, it has a nice little section of years-past Holiday Special covers by Art Adams, George Perez, John Buscema, and others. And Frazer Irving's cover for this year's Special is pretty darn cool, too. Sulky Shulkie cracks me up.

The story about Stan Lee and a young Paul Jenkins was more than worth it. It warmed my heart cockles.

Err . . . what page is that on? I must've missed it.

That Was Stan Lee Meets the Silver Surfer. But you're right about it warming cockles.

No Santron? Not worth my time. :mad:

Santron is there in spirit, as always.

I actually picked up the MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECIAL DIGEST today, too. Some equally great stuff in there.

Whoops. I liked it so much I put it in 2 books. Ain't nothin' like a warm cockle.

Same. No X-Men story = no interest from me. The Handbook Entry for Santa is amusing though. :D

X-Snob.

Anywho, I just found out the Wong/Fin Fang Foom story is online in it's entirety here (http://www.newsarama.com/marvelnew/Dec06/Pre12_6/MvlPre12_6_Main.html).

Hey now, I'm not an X-Snob. I get a few non X-Books.

They just have to speak to me. Like Agents of Atlas did. :D

Recent Fing Fang Foom is just complete and total love. I'm so getting this just for him.

And Beast? You're so totally an X-Snob. ;) *I keed! I keed!*

I have it, love it, and yet I have no soul.

i bought and loved it!

[drwho]

I flipped through this and after reading DCs holiday issue this seemed way too inferior with art and just book content so I passed on the sucker.

Bought it and loved it! Last year's Santron was a bit more amusing, but the Fin Fang Foom story was fun too. And the Santa Handbook entry was KEY! Love that stuff! ;)
