It's Christmastime, and Dan and Jonathan are here to cover three truly awful Christmas specials: "Cobra CLAWs Are Coming to Town" (GI Joe: A Real American Hero), He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special, and "Have Yourself a Morlock Little X-Mas" (X-Men).

In episode 585, Mike looked at several recent Marvel publications, and today he does the same for DC. Those books are Batgirl #15, Talon #1, and Team 7 #3.
