This issue has a lot of stuff going on. Basically it's for short stories with a holiday theme. The only thing I don't like about these types of books, is that the writers usually try some off the wall stuff, but it never really carries over into the regular titles. Plus it doesn't usually flow well with current series. The first is by Keith Champagne and John Byrne. It's a story about Hal Jordan and Hector Hammond. Basically he wants to pick Hal's mind and find some pleasant holiday memories. It really is like a drug to him. The next is by Bill Willingham and Cory Walker. It's a story about Blue Devil. He's trying to help out Santa, because he believes the Anti-Christmas-League is after him. Shadowpact assures him that they'll keep him monitored and that they'll intercept all attempts, really , without him ever even knowing what's going on. Come to find out it's all a goof on him by Detective Chimp & Blitzen. Next is a Superman story by Joe Kelly and Ale Garza. It focus' around Supergirl, which is kind of a neat preview because Ale Garza is going to be the new artist on her book pretty soon. She's trying to help Superman answer some of his Christmas letters. She does so, but in an unorthodox kind of way. Next we have a story about Shazam, by Tony Bedard and Marcos Marz. We get to see what some of the Magical characters are doing now, now that they have to assume a human form and 'guise. Next is a Flash story by Ian Boothby and Giuseppe Camuncoli. Bart's trying to have a normal Christmas, even though he's completely ambiguous to the holiday. But he finds out that nothings ever normal for the people in the red suits. Then there's a story about the new Batwoman. And finally a story about Superman and Batman. Superman's new suit is a santa suit, with a red "s". Overall a decent book. Just what you'd expect for the holidays.
