Superman #165 (A Holiday Favorite Revisited)

Lex Luthor has been elected President of the United States. It's a fact that doesn't sit very well with the Man of Steel. Seeking advice, solace, and allies, Superman makes the rounds with his fellow Justice Leaguers while giving them their Christmas presents. 

Featuring the artistic talents of Art Adams, Mike Wieringo, Ed McGuiness, Rob Liefeld, Norm Rapmund, and many more, this was a great Christmas themed story that's drawing style changed which each hero Superman engages. 

Superman (1987-2006) #165

One of my favorite stories begins with a scene involving Waverider and Mongul's Warworld. Yet, that's the only time we see these characters. It's a moment that has to nothing do with the holiday themed story but thankfully, it doesn't really detract from the rest of the tale. 

Speaking of detractors- even the art of the much-maligned Rob Liefeld is pretty good. The late 90s version of Aquaman with the long hair and hook hand actually looks great done by the creator of Deadpool. It's almost a Christmas miracle!
