Marvel Comics has shared a first look at Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish, an upcoming one-shot which features various Christmastime tales, including ones about the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Spider-Man.
This December, Marvel Comics will help get us into the holiday spirit with a new one-shot: Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish. In the great Marvel tradition, we'll behold the many ways our favourite heroes celebrate the season with stories starring the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and Spider-Man.
Brought to us by a lineup of acclaimed Marvel talent, these three heartwarming, inspirational, and action-packed stories are suited for any reader to enjoy, making them the perfect gift for the Marvel fans in your life.
Today, you can check out all four covers, including pieces by Luciano Vecchio and Leonardo Romero along with a wraparound homage cover by Lee Garbett and a hidden gem cover from industry legends Gil Kane and John Romita Sr. We've also found a sneak peek at all three tales sitting under the tree.
Here's what's to come in Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish:
It's a fun premise and while none of these stories are likely to have an impact on the wider Marvel Universe, that's not necessarily a bad thing (particularly for fans who don't want to end up getting bogged down in complicated continuity).
A holiday special is always a blast, and it's a shame the MCU has only delivered one of them...2022's The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Disney+.
