Dread the Halls 2025 #1

Dread the Halls returns to haunt another Christmas season with a 72-page gift of all-new tales of holiday horrors for only $6.99! This time out, Jordan Hart and Luana Vecchio deliver a seasonal blend of Hallmark movie and brutal revenge flick; Chris Ryall and Keithan Jones turn Mars red when “The Martians Conquer Santa Claus!”; Walter Pax and Fábio Veras return to the series rendering festive terror; and Ryall and Lee Ferguson close things out with an even darker Christmas Carol!

 

The Terminator: Santa Claus Is Coming to Town #1

It’s Christmas Eve in Skynet’s apocalyptic future, and the atmosphere is pretty far from festive. But even in the blasted rubble of civilization, the surviving elders of the Resistance have fond memories of the holiday — and in between drone attacks, the younger members are eager to hear about them.

The story of the jolly old man in a red suit who infiltrated people’s perimeters is especially intriguing. How did he avoid the sentries and guard dogs? What kind of exfiltration technique was he using? And most important, did he have glowing red eyes that matched his fur-trimmed hat — like the hulking figure that’s now advancing on their position?

Get ready to deck the halls with phased plasma rifles as relentless comics machines PAULINA GANUCHEAU and KENDALL GOODE celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in The Terminator: Santa Claus Is Coming to Town — featuring seasonal cover wrappings from GOODE, WILL ROBSON, FRANCESCO BIAGINI, and REESE HANNIGAN!
