Topic	Board 8 Comic Book Club #2: Where We All Have Issues (Repost)
scarletspeed7 12/25/18 2:16:56 PM #4:	All right time for a little bit of a Christmas Week. This is a great week for the many people who haven't caught up to catch up on previous weeks (and remember if you need help remembering what was in a previous week or finding those stories, PM me here or on Discord). For the rest of you, three stories. First, 'Twas the Fight Before Christmas in Spider-Man's Tangled Web #21. Darwyn Cooke does the heavy lifting on art here, and the story is an over-the-top goofy bundle of fun with a little yuletide cheer mixed in. It's Christmas as only Spider-Man can deliver. Secondly, a little bit of nostalgia for me. When I was younger, I saved up my own money and bought JLA #60 for myself before Christmas because I wanted to get a subscription to the series my parents had been buying for me until that point. JLA #60 featured Mark Waid writing a story entitled "Merry Christmas, Justice League -- Now Die!!" And without giving too much away, Santa takes on the Devil with the League hanging in the balance. It's whimsical, weirdly sweet story centered around the often-overlooked character of Plastic Man, coming right before his big push as a more serious character under Joe Kelly's run. Great stuff, and a great send-off for Mark Waid, who left the title after this tale. The final story is called "Christmas Knight", and it features in Starman #27. Starman is actually my favorite comic series of all time, and this short one-shot story sees the main character, Jack Knight, waylaid by a down-on-his-luck Santa Claus on the way to a Christmas party featuring the rest of the supporting cast in his series. I'm not sure how this will read out of the context of the rest of the series, but I've always found it to be a heartwarming tale that really filled me with that Christmas spirit, so hopefully the same will happen for you. We'll be coming back to Starman at some point soon, so I hope you all enjoy James Robinson's writing. Anyways, three one-shots. I know that MI will probably want more with his sleepless papa nights, but I promise to make up for it next week with a topic I think everyone will enjoy immensely. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
