YULETIDE #2 (OF 3)

WILL THIS HOLIDAY BE OUR LAST?! Rising stars George Northy (EC’s Shiver SuspenStories) and Rachele Aragno (Leonide the Vampire) unleash the next epic chapter of this soon-to-be-classic Christmastime adventure in a double-sized, 40-page package! In the festive town of Christmas, PA, life is like a holiday feast all year round: decorations, lights, shopping, and all the trimmings! Until the facade is shattered by the accidental awakening of the sinister Christmas Witch—Perchta—who has an axe to grind against the world that imprisoned and forgot her! And she’s not alone! With the help of the vicious Yule Cat and the mischievous Yule Lads, the dark spirits of the winter holiday are set to wreak havoc on this otherwise idyllic town and beyond, and the only ones who can stop them are the group of misfit teens that accidentally released her in the first place—joined by the elven warrior Erligur, who’s battled these baddies before. This unlikely alliance of youthful heroes must stop Perchta and her brood from casting their darkness across the land!
