Yuletide #1

Have you ever wondered why our brightly colored and joyously cheerful Christmas festivities are held at the peak of winter’s frigid darkness?

The ancient legends of mythic monsters and pagan pandemonium that are deeply tied to the festival’s long-forgotten origins. So when their hobby leads them to an abandoned wing of the local Christmas museum to investigate, they’ll discover an ancient relic that, when activated, will bring a furious procession of yuletide horrors long since banished from our plane—and with it, a darkness that has been waiting centuries for its chance to overtake the world!

In the tradition The Goonies, Hocus Pocus, and Goosebumps, the countdown to Christmas starts now as Yuletide presents the first three extra-sized, 40-page issues unleashing a monstrous new kind of holiday tale for readers young and old!
