Ho Ho Holy Smokes why did I ever agree to write the newsletter for the Christmas week?
‘Twas the night before Christmas at Walt’s comic shop,
The team was abuzz – no chance yet to stop;
Boxes were packed and stacked wall to wall,
Full of comics and care, bagged, boarded, and all;
Amid all the chaos, a note took the stage:
A giveaway’s live on Walt’s Instagram page!
Just swing by the profile, don’t miss or delay,
Perhaps you’ll take home a gift this fine day!
And as for me, here I sit at my desk,
Hoping this newsletter won’t end up grotesque;
So if you will grant me a moment of cheek,
Here’s what you’ll find on FOC this week;
Marvel and DC have emptied their coffer,
No comics or stories to offer or proffer;
But other fine people bring cheer and delight,
With adventures and characters sure to excite;
Our Christmas train stops at its first station,
Ninja Turtles are joining from their Mutant Nation,
Heroes and villains fight for their glory
This book will bring the end to the story;
If you’re in the mood for something bit darker,
And high school leaves you depraved and starker,
Blood Honey might be your way to go queasy:
Break ups are hard – but killing is easy;
Next stop on the line, for the kids in the room,
The Last Witch finale, brought to you by BOOM!
Through Blood and Betrayal, with witches as foes,
Will Saoirse prevail? Well, nobody knows!
In Bronze Faces old friends reunite once again,
As art’s set for purchase by museum men;
The deal of the century leaves them aghast,
So they plan one bold job to reclaim the past;
From Ariela Kristantina comes a tale so grand,
The Girl Who Draws on Whales, set in a sea-bound land;
Wangi and Banyu, with courage and art,
Embark on a journey that will warm your heart;
Elvira returns, and she’s losing her head,
Through movies and worlds where few dare to tread;
Will she find her way home or get stuck in the night?
(That Elm Street homage is just pure delight!)
All of the books on FOC are here,
Waiting for you, so never fear;
Wednesday’s the deadline for pre-order delight,
But between us, the prices won’t drop till Friday night;
(Keep the fact that I used the same rhyme out of sight)
The newsletter is done, the books all in place,
Comics and stories bring cheer to the space;
I sit at my desk, with a mug in my hand,
Hoping the snow will soon cover the land;
The year’s winding down, but our stacks never cease,
Each page a small joy, each panel a piece;
From heroes to villains, from tales big to small,
Merry Christmas from Team Walt, and joy to all!
