Yeah, there's a thread for this over at the Avengers board, but they're the Great Lakes X-Men now, dagnabbit! ;)
Man this was great. If you liked the GLA mini-series, you'll love this. A collection of six short stories full of christmas themed mayhem. Obvious dark humor is abound, but there are a few touching moments here and there.
See Squirrel Girl vanquish MODOK, Terrax, and Thanos (although those were off-panel. We also see still images of her beating Mandarin, Dr. Doom (again?), and some big creature called Giganto) and still have time for holiday shopping!
See the GLX save Muskego from the yuletide tyranny of Dr.Tannenbaum and his killer Christmas tree army (with plenty of misapropirate use of the word "flock"), and flashback to how Mr. Immortal and Dinah Soar first uh...got together (Flatman: Dear Sweet God! I did not need to see that!)
See a new Grasshopper debut and save Roxxon Labs from Killer Shrike...then die by accidentally launching himself into space. Oops. Grasshopper, the Kenny of the superhero set?
See Doorman finally bond with his Dad...when he takes his soul off to the afterlife. He is the angel of death now (he even has tingling "Death Sense"!)
See Deathurge (still a squirrel silhoutte) try and kill Tippy-Toe to gain Oblivion's favor back. Tom & Jerry style antics ensue.
Plus, cut out your very own Marvel Legends Flat-Man action figure! With infinite points of articulation, and three sayings you can with your own voice! Tippy-Toe says: Remember kids, get your parents permission before playing with scissors (Mr Immortal: Not again!)
Very funny stuff all around, I thought, and I liked each of the artist's work for the stories, although Wieringo's Tippy-Toe was kinda creepy at first. I was suprised Bertha didn't get her own story though, since everyone else did (Flatman's was in essence, the action figure).
Highly reccomended.
