Image Comics Gets Into the Spirit
Not content with being outdone by zombies for holidays, Image has their own version of holiday cheer.
Image has two books coming out called Dynamo 5 Holiday Special 2010 and Santa Claus vs. the Martians #1 that will celebrate the holidays with Image cheer. Dynamo 5 is written by Jay Faerber and features art by Marcio Takara (covers by Mahmud A. Asrar and Rob Guillory) and focuses on the holidays in Tower City where the Dynamo 5 kids are busy tracking down an enemy of Captain Dynamo. It hits stores December 22 and Faerber wants you to be stoked.
"The Dynamo 5 Holiday Special gives us our first look at how Tower City's resident superheroes celebrate the holidays," explains Faerber. "The kids have to juggle their 'real' families along with their superhero family -- plus they have to make time to track down an old enemy who escaped from prison. In addition to telling a complete stand-alone story, this Holiday Special also lays the groundwork for the big event coming to Dynamo 5 in 2011."
Santa Claus vs. the Martians #1 pits the eternal Santa Claus against a new foe: aliens from Mars. It's written by Benito Cereno and illustrated by James Harren (covers by Nate Bellegarde) and hits stores December 1.
According to Cereno, "SANTA CLAUS VS. THE MARTIANS takes its inspiration from the high concept of the famously terrible B-movie SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS. Rather than being an adaptation or remake, it uses the basic idea as a springboard for an epic battle that explores the way our culture has looked at the Christmas gift-giver and invaders from space over the course of three centuries. Whatever your favorite bit of the Santa mythology or whatever your preferred form of Martian, chances are good you will see it within the pages of this mini-series!"
While I welcome the thought of Santa fighting martians, has anyone noticed that Christmas specials often involve Halloween horrors? Maybe it's just me. Full press release after the jump.
