The last story is a very artistically styled FF story wherein a villain tries to steal gifts for his kids and they forgive him and join him for Christmas. It's nice, but hard to top Santron.
The plot has the Puppet Master using Medusa and Flash-Thompson-dressed-as-Spidey to rob Macy's while Sue Storm, Wasp, and Crystal are shopping there (and Pete's on his way). The ladies all look incredible (Medusa 😍) and the fight is great and look at Chainsaw Spidey omg!
Jack agrees to help the man in the Santa outfit after hearing about his plight, and although he doesn't dwell on the plans he had, you can tell he's thinking about it.
They also planted bombs at the hospital where Carol's friend is undergoing treatment, so Santa Carol has to round them all up.
(Santa Carol or Christmas Carol? It should probably be Christmas Carol, right?)
#ChristmasComics Day 20 - Captain Marvel #11 by Kelly Sue DeConnick and David Lopez.
This is my favorite Carol Captain Marvel run, and this issue is one of the best, despite the cover that isn't very cheerful and doesn't reflect the events of the issue.
"They say you're born alone and you die alone. Even if that's true, would you want it to be?"
I've learned I have some anxiety around questions of morality and mortality, and this speaks to that.
Superman is the ghost of Christmas present, and it's great.
"He seemed to be a source of infinite hope... and he radiated that hope with every movement and word."
Robin plays the role of Marley, the old partner from back when Scrooge used to be "good", and then Catwoman is the ghost of Christmas past.
Love these Catwoman pages. Would be happy to see Bermejo do a full Catwoman story sometime.
The narration is a retelling of A Christmas Tale, and as I said, Batman as Scrooge totally works.
"Christmas was just another day" totally sounds like a Dark Knight Batman line.
