MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECIAL 2006 #1, February 2007 (Volume 1)

The Pros: The AIM story that runs throughout the entire issue, the freakin’ hilarious Fin Fang Foom story, and a very interesting tale about Ben Grimm and Anhilius. An added bonus, a Marvel Handbook report on Santa’s role in the Marvel Universe.

Let's not forget to praise this beautiful Norman Rockwell inspired cover of Santa Hulk. So adorable. So fun.

The Cons: It’s a 48-page special. However, 18 pages are filled with either reprints of old Holiday Specials or ads. So, in reality it’s a 32-pager. Had I paid the full $3.99 cover for this issue, I would be soooooo pissed.
