Jeremiah Richardson
>Wonder Woman crashing John Constantine’s hellblazing pagan party
instant buy
Aaron Gutierrez
How can you ruin shit?
Jackson Peterson
Isn't Cullen Bunn running the ONLY good X-book there is atm?
Adrian Martinez
Swampy better turn his chirstmas tree into hemp as well
Justin Sullivan
His Sinestro was good m8
Aaron Cruz
Didn't he write a really good Sinestro run recently? And I was under the impression people liked his X-Books.
His creator owned stuff is pretty good too.
Grayson Sanders
>Detective Chimp spreads his own unique brand of holiday cheer Can you make moonshine from bananas?
Brody Cooper
WTF, now Huntress is Jewish!!! How the fuck does that work!
Zachary Bailey
Eh, Sinestro was better than average. But the average is at an all time low...
Brandon Richardson
>Chanukah >Huntress
Jayden Murphy
>Holiday Specials are back Truly this marks a Rebirth for DC
Joseph Jenkins
welp that explains why she shot that catholic priest in the rebirth issue of birds of prey
Sebastian Campbell
So either she's just Jewish now or one parent is catholic and one is jewish cause she looked pretty catholicy in Grayson
Eli Gutierrez
>a Chanukah crisis for Huntress
literally ok when DC does it
Jaxon Cox
At this point yes it is
Hunter James
DC can't stop. The dawn of a new age is upon us.
Logan Mitchell
What about Kwanzaa? Shouldn't they have Cyborg or whatever celebrating Kwanzaa or whatever it is?
Liam Bennett
>Wonder Woman crashing John Constantine’s hellblazing pagan party
Just take my fucking money already
Zachary Gonzalez
I remember King saying that he and Orlando were advocating the return of the Holiday special.
Wyatt Cox
Ok fine, they named the meme characters but who else is getting a special?
Luke Cooper
The Batman annual is all Holiday stories too.
Michael Carter
>Don’t miss a Chanukah crisis for Huntress, >Huntress >not Catholic what
Luke Johnson
Old testament, it's all good.
But yeah even in the new 52 and Rebirth she's Catholic. Maybe that's the point to have her save a holiday that isn't her own.
Bentley Evans
Either her mother was jewish, or Helena's not sure how she got wrapped up in this herself.
Carter Stewart
>X-fag outraged is this all they know?
Landon Morris
they already have Batwoman if they want to explore the jewish existential crisis of a superhero
Isaiah Taylor
His is the only half-decent X-book, and his Magneto and Sinestro ongoings were solid.
David Thompson
>no King and Shaner doing a Jewish Hal story awww
Henry Lee
>no "Jingle All the Way with Superdad" story
Are they even trying?
Connor Baker
>and more to be announced.
>and more
It's like you guys don't even read the OP
Wyatt Stewart
Really? That's great.
Samuel Murphy
>"Don’t miss a Chanukah crisis for Huntress, a Flash family Christmas, Wonder Woman crashing John Constantine’s hellblazing pagan party and more – and in a must read story, the simian sleuth Detective Chimp spreads his own unique brand of holiday cheer!"
Lucas Gutierrez
Helena Bertinelli is Catholic, right? Even Earth 2 Helena Wayne is Catholic, because Batman being Catholic is a huge part of the character.
John Murphy
>because Batman being Catholic is a huge part of the character. hes a jew
Caleb Nelson
The Waynes are Catholic.
Daniel Price
his mom is a jew
Xavier Morgan
Whatever, dude. The Waynes are still catholic and the Kanes hate Bruce for being a Wayne.
Jordan Peterson
For those who are curious the Huntress thing was a typo in the press release. It apparently stars Batwoman.
Wyatt Richardson
That's less of a typo and more of an intern fucking up but makes more sense than Huntress for sure
Ethan Sanders
Yeah, Huntress is basically DC's female Daredevil.
Jace Collins
Awesome. I wish they'd get back in gear with the Halloween specials. Those were always my favorites.
Ethan Stewart
Via CBR
>With stories thatspan thespectrum of holiday traditions, the one-off findsBatwoman celebrating Hanukah, Flash having a family Christmas and Wonder Woman hanging out at Constantine’s “hellblazing pagan party.” There’s even an appearance from the deerstalker-wearing simian Detective Chimp, who we last saw in Jeff Lemire’s “Justice League United” #16.
So it was a Kate story, instead if a Huntress one
Sebastian Nguyen
Full cover
Angel Adams
if bruce's mother is a jew by definition he is, even if he doesnt practice. judaism is, for some unknown reason, "passed maternally"
Carter Edwards
I always thought it was Kate's mother who was Jewish and Jacob converted
Isaiah Rivera
no clue, i dont know enough about the Kanes/Waynes/Arkhams or any other gotham lineage, i just know jewish traditiion for whatever reason
Aiden Hernandez
>no cover credit given
Andrew Carter
Man, even though the stories were always shit i fucking missed DC's holiday specials so bad. This one at least has some seriously awesome people attached to it instead of the janitors they usually have write these things.
A shame we're not getting a Halloween special though.
Gabriel Robinson
Nice
Adam White
>>Wonder Woman crashing John Constantine’s hellblazing pagan party
Instant pull. 10/10 idea.
Hope it's done well.
Jackson Davis
>Paul Dini writing the Harley story that ties everything together.
I'll be picking this up just for that. Dini writes the only half decent Harley these days.
Jeremiah Hill
If this is a success we might get one next year. And damn do I hope that's the case, because I always love those more than anything.
Ayden Morris
Holy fuck yes i am buying this. What does prestige format mean anyway does it not have ads or something.
Jayden Carter
Wait is she not normaly.
Maybe they should reprint that one ragman story instead Maybe this is the way to make changes to a character without complaints slip them into an incredible event.
Bentley Diaz
>no ads exactly.
Liam Ward
>have her save a holiday that isn't her own. Thats what it most likely is they did the same thing with ragman.
Cameron Brooks
If her mother was Jewish then she could be considered one even if she doesn't openly practice or follows another faith. (Something about it only being passed on through the mother)
Nicholas Cook
in one of the recent Tec issues they had a scene at the wayne funeral and you can see a menorah near the coffins
Isaiah Richardson
It's so the male Jews could fuck the goy female slaves and if they got pregnant not have to treat the kids as Jews.
Easton Gomez
Makes sense.
Mason Fisher
>Paul Dini is writing the Harley Quinn tale
Cameron Edwards
Where were you when detective comics comics saved comics for the 3rd time this year.
Nathaniel Bailey
What/when was the last Christmas holiday special DC released?
Anthony Wood
DCU before the reboot Character based the Harley book got one back at 2014
Cooper Jackson
Harley's had a holiday special but the Young Romance one from like 3-4 years ago is the last general DC special
Isaac Jackson
Oh god i hope this is not as bad as young romance was. At the very least i hope the storys advertised match up with what we get this time.
Come to think of it why did nobody do the young romance special for the storytime of pain weekend.
Easton Thomas
Come to think of it are there any muslim events around this time.
A commen misconception is that baz is muslim he is not his family is it has not been brought up in green lanterns because it has not been relevant (they could have sliped it in during that rage bit where he was talking about his family but they knew it would not be the dialouge that worked best so they had the decency to avoid it)
If there is indeed a muslim event that time of year they could finaly have the opportunity to clear that confusion up without any storys having to suffer for it.
Jayden James
Black people don't celebrate kwanza. We celebrate Christmas
Jaxon Gray
Wait no 4th time
Ryan Gray
Only jews in DC comics are harley quinn and batwoman other than that I'm drawing a blank
Justin Hughes
Batwoman is who is getting that bit Huntress was a typo
Mason Morales
Go to sleep Bendis
Jacob Cox
Colossal Boy. Atom Smasher.
Nathaniel Sullivan
classic jews
Josiah Evans
Marvel saved comics once last year with vision but it was negated by peoples shit taste and they might save comics again this year with slapstick (unless they fuck it up and i am being very generous with counting it even if it turns out good)
This year dc first saved comics with rebirth then the announcement of dark mansion of forbidden love followed by the release of flintstones (even if newsarama seems to disagree) and now this
Poor idw has not saved comics in years.
Jacob Torres
Ragman Colossal Boy Atom Smasher Ray Palmer Martin Stein Hal Jordan
Logan Mitchell
Im pretty sure ragman is not jewish i remember reading a hannukah story with him and people asked him why his menorah was not lit.
Unless the ending was him converting.
Or maybe this was a legacy ragman and the previous one was jewish.
Aiden Brown
Wait dont we hate john interacting with capes.
Anthony Smith
We did but then it became a lost cause and we, you included, let it go.
Nicholas Taylor
> the simian sleuth Detective Chimp
All I needed to hear. Sign me up
Ian Taylor
Batman of course.
Ethan Powell
>if bruce's mother is a jew by definition he is, even if he doesnt practice
Why? Because they say so? Fuck them
Jackson Diaz
Hal is half-Jewish, half-Catholic, but also not exactly religious.
Ethan Richardson
Jews aren't a race. They can't pass on shit. It's some made up rule
Hunter Thompson
Hope Midnighter, Nightwing, the rest of the Titans, and the Teen Titans that aren't Damian and Wally aren't forgotten. Seeing Seeley and Orlando there gives me hope, though.
Adrian Williams
The only thing missing is the yearly " Superman and Batman compete to cheer a kid up and one of them gets punched in the face" story.
Elijah Bennett
>Not Superboy and Robin fuck Santa's sled over and Superman and Batman have to cover for their kids and Santa
Camden Turner
New Super Man better have a Christmas in China story.
Lucas Walker
I hope so to
Tyler Cox
I feel its fine in theory we have just been burnt a lot recently.
I really liked his bit with batson though and i was glad to see it mentioned in his rebirth.
Jaxon Hall
That is a little odd
Parker Gomez
>weaves together all of these stories in the weirdest way possible." Depending on how many storys this has dini may have a hell of a task ahead of him.
Brandon Sullivan
It could easily just be Santa checking his list for various characters.
Josiah Williams
Wish they would do another "letters to Superman" issue where Supes goes to the post office on Christmas and tries to answer as many letters as he can from people that need his help
Owen Ortiz
I i dont think john is going to make it onto the nice list.
Kevin Sullivan
His Micronauts are fantastic.
Carter Reed
What? No, he's definitely jewish. The entire point of Ragman is that the suit was created as a cloth golem to protect Polish Jews from the Nazis in WW2. Rory had a fairly turbulent life so he might not be the most diligent practitioner of his religion, though.
Jonathan Hernandez
>a Flash family Christmas Is it actually going to be the Flash family?
