The holidays have arrived and they’ve come packaged with a lot of violence! Matt and Brett stumbled upon the accidental theme of “putting a hit on Santa” and had to read these two issues: Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special by Keith Giffen, Alan Grant, and Simon Bisley; and Hitman #22 by Garth Ennis and John McCrea.

From Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special:

Santa’s Origin

Are they aliens?

Elf death

Slash

Tough Santa

The finger

From Hitman #22:

Simpsons

Santa hit

Gift swap

Joining Matt and Brett is comic book creator Christopher Hastings. You might recognize him from his creator-owned web comic Dr. McNinja, or you might be reading his incredibly fun Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe mini-series. If not, remedy that!
