Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1 by Jeff Parker - Review (Christmas Special)
When it comes to Christmas specials, it's always better not to expect anything. This applies to the special Christmas episode of your favorite sitcom just as much as it does to your beloved Ongoings.

James Tynion IV and Joshua Hixson's The Deviant #1 has all the potential to become my most masochistic read of 2023.Because it brings exactly that kind of horror that crawls under my skin and gives me itchy day and nightmares for weeks.
