Of course the story ends conveniently… but, when it’s Christmas I find that I’m more willing to give that sort of thing a pass. Especially for an idiot who is running a Christmas on Infinite Earths special for the second year in a row. Between that and the story title “Final Christmas” during the year that Final Crisis is on the shelves… c’mon, that’s great. That’s one helluva deep-cut for a book of this sort. I was absolutely shocked to see the freakin’ Shadow Demons of Qward. We’re all “in” on that joke (and have made peace with it!)… we don’t need it drilled into our skulls. So often I feel like these “all-ages books” are produced by folks too far detached from the source material… sort of just “piss takes” on superhero conventions and “har har hars” on how silly spandex-wearing crime fighters truly are. I mean sure, there’s some Calendar Man silliness… but, more than not, this feels like it was written with a very real love of DC Comics and DC Comics history. ![]() Figured it was going to be another “kids book” that pokes fun at how “silly” comic books are… but actually found that not to be the case at all!
