Doyle, Murewa Ayodele and Others Art by Laura Braga, Lisa Sterle, Alex Nieto, Raul Fernandez and Others Peace on earth, good will toward men... Bah humbug! The festive season isn't just for goody-two-shoes, it's also for those of us who hate, hate, double-hate, and loathe entirely. So if you don't have anything nice to say, come sit over by us, and celebrate with a rogues gallery of baddies, including Poison Ivy, Livewire, Catman, Mr. Freeze, and more! From Arkham Asylum to the Phantom Zone and all the pockets of scum and villainy in between, they're coming home for the holidays, and they're bringing their Red Ryder Range 200-shot BBs with them, ya filthy animals. Pick up a copy wherever comic books (and last minute gifts) are sold, and make space for it under the tree or on your mantelpiece... I triple-dog dare ya!
