Marvel's 2024 Christmas Special: A Holiday Reunion of Epic Proportions!
Get ready for some serious holiday cheer, True Believers! This December, Marvel Comics is dropping a massive Christmas special, bringing together three of its biggest teams: the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and Spider-Man!

We're talking festive fun, holiday hijinks, and plenty of heartwarming superhero action! Marvel announced Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish #1 featuring a triple-header, bringing amazing stories!
It’s even more impressive considering the cover itself has four distinct versions created by those seriously talented cover artists Luciano Vecchio, Leonardo Romero, Lee Garbett; and the legendary Gil Kane and John Romita Sr.! This kind of combined effort really sets the expectation even higher; and is something rarely achieved!
Unwrap Three Holiday Tales: Festive Fun with Your Favorite Heroes!
This massive one-shot is packing three major stories, all with that wonderful holiday spirit. We have: The Fantastic Four (written by Gerry Duggan, art by Phil Noto) facing off against a total Grinch, delivering an unexpected fight in that holiday gathering; there's unexpected surprises coming in from those who attend this party and completely sets up the battle involving this holiday setting! The X-Men (written by Daniel Kibblesmith, art by Pat Olliffe) feature Kitty Pryde trying to include the surly Wolverine in Hanukkah fun and presents many more surprises and plot elements coming later; This episode promises multiple easter eggs from older comics; demonstrating the sheer level of combined expertise brought together for a classic feel. And Spider-Man (written by Gene Luen Yang, art by Dylan Burnett) showing Peter Parker and Miles Morales swinging into New Year's action, presenting many of those superhero action sequences which made these characters iconic! Each of these provide something truly unique and really adds diversity across three completely different but inter-related plot elements!
Marvel gave sneak peeks; showing awesome unlettered pages – the Fantastic Four’s party with those unannounced hero guests and other special events is a sight to see, even without the lettered dialogue which might reveal details about the storyline; The X-Men will also be showcasing Kitty Pryde celebrating with that grumpy Wolverine; this time setting it in the past, while creating those amazing callbacks; The other two main characters from Spider-Man, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, will showcase what those two guys would do when confronting a winter-wonderland crime, creating the ideal combination of exciting combat sequences against the holiday theme. There’s even more to anticipate concerning this holiday special.
