And now, the finale of the ISB’s six-day Santabrations…

Santa vs. Darkseid!
Ty Templeton brings us a permanent addition to the Naughty List in the pages of DCU Holiday Bash #2, reprinted in the DC Universe Christmas trade!
Hooray For Santa Claus!
Mantis is officially freaking out.
I love that Santa is checking the list in front of Darkseid, as though he’s got a chance of being on the Nice side.
Is that him being polite, or twisting the knife? Considering it’s Santa, I’m leaning towards polite, but you never know…
GEE-NEE-US
Although I remain awfully fond of the Ambush Bug Christmas Special.
Ty Templeton is never not great.
Santa calling Darkseid “Young fella” is a great touch. And hopefully Santa is Omega Beam proof, because Darkseid looks ready to light him up.
I gotta have this book!
Judging by the still smoking sack, I do believe Santa is Omega Beam proof. But is he prepared for when Darkseid boom-tubes his ass back to the North Pole?
Nice reference to Santa vs. the Martians.
Truely… hurray for Santy Claus.
Good times . . . though you did cut off the last panel of Santa hauling tuckus as Darkseid blasted him with errant Omega Beams. Didn’t Ty do another Christmasshort story with Etrigan?
Hey, a lump of coal! This will power one of those huge firepits for about six more seconds! Thanks Santa!
No love for Batman taking out some skel with a Christmas tree in the Denny O’Neil story from that trade?
Wait, I’m sorry. This is Denny O’Neil, so I meant to say THE Batman.
“No siree! We’re going out the good ol’ fashioned way. Prancer and Dancer and Donder and Blitzen, and Vixen and Nixon… oh, consarnit I get those names mixed up, but the KIDS know their names!”
