Many covers emphasize the holiday unity and those important shared feelings between individuals involved: Marguerite Savage’s Exceptional X-Men #4 (featuring Kitty Pryde and a Hanukkah spread), Audrey Mok’s Scarlet Witch #7 (Wanda in front of snowy scenes) and Nao Fuji’s Ultimate X-Men #10 (holiday dinner!). Marvel brilliantly showcases diversity, connecting different holidays across various titles which helps capture those aspects from the greater readership, emphasizing an important core principle for creating that uniquely successful marketing and distribution initiative.

Todd Nauck’s Miles Morales: Spider-Man #27 is special. Rather than those typical heroic actions and battles–it shows those three Spider-people ice-skating. The design itself emphasizes the joyful energy contained; providing a great, lighthearted element designed purely for pure holiday joy and this very special image is the main selling point for the holiday and Christmas-themed release! A surprisingly amazing detail that greatly improved its marketing potential and distribution.
