Marvel Unveils ‘Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish’ Featuring Doctor Doom’s Christmas Heist

As an avid gamer and comic book enthusiast with over two decades of collecting under my belt, I can confidently say that Marvel’s latest offering, ‘Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish’, is a must-have for any Marvel fan this holiday season!


During the upcoming holiday season, Marvel Comics will be offering a delightful surprise in the form of a special issue titled ‘Marvel Holiday Stories That Will Amaze‘! This comic book promises heartwarming and thrilling tales centered around beloved characters such as the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Spider-Man.

These stories, skillfully written by esteemed Marvel authors, offer a heartwarming festive experience for fans young and old. Consequently, they make a perfect holiday present for Marvel aficionados.

One tale finds us, mingling with the Fantastic Four during their festive gathering, but an unforeseen twist occurs as Doctor Doom makes his entrance. Gerry Duggan pens this engaging yarn, illustrated by Phil Noto, as the valiant quartet deals with more than just merrymaking.

A Different Tale whisks us away on a Hanukkah escapade featuring Kitty Pryde, as she scrambles to discover the ideal presents for her comrades, the extraordinary Uncanny X-Men. Penned by Daniel Kibblesmith and adorned with Pat Olliffe’s artwork, this narrative abounds with appearances from mutants and winks towards past X-Men masterpieces.

In this third instalment, Spider-Men Peter Parker and Miles Morales are seen trying to keep their New Year’s promises, written by Gene Luen Yang and illustrated by Dylan Burnett. This humorous narrative makes it an ideal read for welcoming the New Year.

Besides unveiling four unique covers for this special edition, Marvel has also revealed two exceptional pieces: one by Luciano Vecchio and Leonardo Romero, and another wraparound tribute cover by Lee Garbett. Furthermore, a cover that pays homage to comic greats Gil Kane and John Romita Sr., hidden among the others, is also available for enthusiasts to appreciate.




These holiday tales are independent from the main Marvel Universe, making them simple to read even if you’re not familiar with Marvel’s intricate timeline. This self-contained style is appealing as it lets readers savor the festive atmosphere without worrying about following long-term narratives.

Marvel’s foray into holiday specials is somewhat infrequent yet unforgettable, as this comic now finds itself among the jovial lineup that includes the upcoming ‘The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special’, streaming on Disney+ in 2022.

Don’t forget to take a look at ‘Marvel Holiday Tales to Amaze #1’, it’s filled with holiday cheer in a thrilling superhero manner!
