Holiday shopping getting you down? Is the thought of spending Christmas with your in-laws enough to make you consider moving to North Pole? Have you heard “Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer” so… many… GOSH… DARN… TIMES that you’re on the brink of running someone down yourself? Well, don’t do that (no, really, please don’t do that). Instead, grab a copy of this week’s HARLEY QUINN HOLIDAY SPECIAL #1. It’s 48 pages of merriment and mayhem guaranteed to make even the biggest Scrooge smile. Written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, the Harley Quinn Holiday Special is actually a collection of three different tales, each featuring the work of a different talented artist (including this month’s variant cover artist, Darwyn Cooke). Plus, you have two great Amanda Conner covers to choose from!

And hey, while you’re celebrating the holidays with Harley, you might want to pick up the equally festive BATGIRL #37. Has Batgirl gone glam? Or is that someone else behind the cowl? Considering the stolen jewelry and cars, that’s not exactly a hard question to answer. But who would impersonate Batgirl… and why? Once again, this Burnside Batgirl adventure comes to you courtesy of writers Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher and series artist Babs Tarr.

Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t call some attention to some of the great books that are coming out from Vertigo this week. ASTRO CITY #18 kicks off a thoughtful four-part storyline that looks at the human toll that years of superheroics can take as it examines the life of aging super hero, Crackerjack. FBP: FEDERAL BUREAU OF PHYSICS #16 also kicks off a new storyline and marks the debut of new series artist Alberto Ponticelli (Dial H, Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.). Finally, COFFIN HILL #14 dives into the past of its titular town, offering a dark tale of mass murder turned on its head.

All this, plus new issues of Justice League United, Batman Eternal, New Suicide Squad, Constantine and Earth 2: World’s End! Look for previews of all these new titles and more below.
