"Marvel Holiday Special: Christmas 1994"

This is a very interesting mix of holiday stories. The Iceman/ Beast story is based on an obscure original X-Men tale from the 60s. The art was inconsistent, but it was a great story. The Capt. story was very good, so is the Thing’s. I didn’t understand the Silver Surfer story and what it had to do with any earth or alien holiday. Like the Surfer, it was just weird.

And the X-Men poem at the end was very funny.

 Big disappointment though. Spiderman is taking over a 1/3 of the cover, yet he’s relegated to a 2 page story without any words.

 Still, with that oversight, it’s very much worth consuming.
