Before you open the first issue of Shane and Chris Houghton’s Reed Gunther, ask yourself the following question: “How awesome is a cowboy riding a bear and fighting monsters?” If your answer was “The most awesome” then you’re going to love this book.

Take, for example, the following art sent my way from "Doctor Who" writer Tony Lee and the newly formed Manor Club Productions with Daniel Boultwood and Ciaran Lucas:
Yes, that's the trio battling anti-Santa robots while riding unicorns that shoot lasers out of their eyes.
And there's more where that came from.
From Image Comics' bad-ass "Skullkickers" Christmas delivery to a pair of great cards featuring Darth Vader, this was a good holiday season when it came to creative greetings falling down our chimney.
