Countdown to Christmas 2025 Day 1: DC's I Saw Ma Hunkel Kissing Santa Claus

Let's start off this year's Countdown to Christmas with DC's I Saw Ma Hukel Kissing Santa Claus #1. The issue actually came out the day before Thanksgiving but I decided to post it now. The cover features Stargirl, Jay Garrick aka the Golden Age Flash and Jade watching Ma Hunkel kissing Santa Claus. There are eight stories featuring Ma Hunkel aka the Golden Age Red Tornado (some members of the Justice Society also appears briefly), Dr. Light (guest starring the Atom and a few other superheroes), the Captain (he's still Captain Marvel to me), Galaxy, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Animal Man (guest starring the Phantom Stranger) and the Martian Manhunter.

Here's the official summary:

"Ah, the holidays. A time for joy and togetherness, presents and carols… and emotions, drama, and chaos galore. Join our merry gang of heroes and villains as they navigate the highs and lows of holiday romance. Supergirl kicks off her winter vacation with a blind date! Galaxy tries (and fails) to clear her superhero-ing schedule to spend Hanukkah with her sweetheart! And so much more! Warm up your winter with this collection of heartwarming and heart-racing tales coming to shelves this holiday season!"

Happy Thanksgiving from the Justice Society of America

The Justice Society of America wishes every one a safe and happy Thanksgiving. The Golden Age heroes in this group includes the Atom, Sandman, Spectre, Flash, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Green Lantern and Hourman. I'm guessing Ma Hunkel aka the Red Tornado cooked the turkey much to Hawkman's dismay and is now in the kitchen cleaning up.

Women Wednesday: Trinity Daughter of Wonder Woman #5

The cover of Trinity Daughter of Wonder Woman #5 looks more like it should be released around Valentine's Day instead of the day before Thanksgiving. Robin (the Jason Todd version) is on the cover along with Trinity and Super-corgi. The story actually explains the holiday mix up. Here's the official summary:

"Much to her shock, Wonder Girl finds herself back in the past with Robin, this time hoping to track down a Super-corgi. But things have changed — Jason and Lizzie are totally crushing on one another. Can the boy and girl wonders ignore the butterflies long enough to track down a mischievous dog on the dangerous streets of Gotham?"

Fixed A Batmobile Post From 2009

I had to fix my Found: Hot Wheels '09 #7 '66 Batmobile post from 2009 because the picture wasn't loading. I actually reshot the picture and added a close up shot.

Women Wednesday: Harley Quinn X Elvira #2 Covers

Harley Quinn X Elvira #2 dropped today. There are a bunch of covers but I'm only showing the first four plus the cover gallery. Here is the official summary:

"When Elvira first met Harley Quinn, the Mistress of the Dark was desperate for any plan that could help her save her beloved TV show after it was threatened with cancellation by heartless corporate raiders. Well, the Clown Princess of Crime came up with a plan, all right, and now Elvira is along for the ride — no matter how crazy Harley’s scheme turns out to be! Putting together the biggest Halloween block party ever staged is a great idea in theory, but pulling it off means raising a massive amount of money — and a pile of cash that big is sure to draw the attention of every thug and delinquent in the Tri-State area. If Harley and Elvira want to keep their party funds secure, they’re going to have to become too big to fail — and that means going international!"

Marvel Avengers Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book 2019

The local Dollar Tree had another blast from the past last week when I picked up this Marvel Avengers Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book. The copyright date is 2019 and printed by Bendon. The front cover features Black Panther, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man and Black Widow. The coloring pages are either of the group, couples or individuals. The activity pages include puzzles, mazes, images search and whatnot. Loki, Thanos and Fin Fang Foom shows up on a few pages.

Super Sunday: Superman Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book 2010

I was surprised when I found this Superman Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book at the local Dollar Tree last week. For starters, it was devoted to just Superman and not the Justice League or Batman. What really shocked me was that the copyright date is 2010. Bendon must have either reprinted this in time for the new movie or they had several boxes in storage. Most of coloring pages feature Superman, Brainiac and/or Imperiex (there's no Lois Lane or Jimmy Olsen). There are a wide variety of activity pages including puzzles, mazes, finish the pictures and whatnot. The back cover has Superman and Brainiac stand-ups that you can cut out. Not bad for $1.25.

Science Fiction Saturday: Space Scouts #1

Dark Horse Comics and Flux House Books dropped Space Scouts #1 earlier this week and it's good on so many levels. It has a wraparound cover while the artwork and story make me feel like it should be in an issue of Heavy Metal. This will be a three-issue mini-series and I already can't wait for #2. Here's the official summary:

A young girl heads to the center of the universe to compete in a reality show to become the next “Space Scout.” What starts as a teenage drama turns into deadly war at the edge of the universe as the “winning” recruits are sent into a clandestine interminable battle that they most likely won’t survive.

DC Comics released DC K.O.: Knightfight #1 this week and it's pretty cool especially if you are a Batman and Robin fan. The four variant covers include cover A by Dan Mora, cover B by Jonboy Meyers, cover C by Kaare Andrews and cover D by Fabrizio De Tommaso. Here is the official summary:

"The Dark Knight is forced to take a different path in the tournament for the Heart of Apokolips — one that has turned Gotham into a deadly arena where Batman must battle against the Batmen of the future! Who are these Batmen? Stay tuned to find out!"
