Round-Up of Holiday Coverage

Here in New York, weather forecasts are predicting snowfall on Thursday. It's just another sign that winter is in full swing and the holidays are just around the corner!

Holiday Gift Guides continue to roll in. ABC NEWS’ show, What’s the Buzz, ran a special Holiday Gift Guide segment on graphic novels, which called out DC COMICS: THE NEW 52 and BATMAN: NOEL. Additionally, they prominently displayed 100 BULLETS, VOL. 1 and THE ANNOTATED SANDMAN (which we suggested to you yesterday in our Holiday Gift Guide series here on THE SOURCE) in the feature.

Speaking of Holiday Gift Guides, AFTER ELLEN ranked the trade paperback edition of BATWOMAN: ELEGY as the top item on their “Gift Guide for the Gay Woman 2011.”

And to keep you in the holiday mood, POPMATTERS has just published a review of the New York Times bestseller, BATMAN: NOEL. “In the end, I’m simply haunted by the beauty of BATMAN: NOEL,” they wrote. “And my wish for you this Holiday Season, is that you will be too.”
