Marvel Entertainment is launching the second wave of never before seen digital comic titles exclusively for Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited subscribers. The Marvel Digital Holiday Special— debuting on Wednesday, December 17—highlights this second wave of online-first titles at Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited [www.marvel.com/digitalcomics] and adds to the ever-growing library of over 5,000+ comics.
Here’s what’s coming:
Astonishing Tales: Wolverine/Punisher
Fan-fave C.B. Cebulski (X-INFERNUS) and the up and coming Kenneth Rocafort (MADAME MIRAGE) get gritty with a no-holds-barred Wolverine/Punisher tale you have to see to believe! Wolverine and Punisher go head-to-head on the streets of Madripoor, but can they stop fighting each other long enough to take down a certain green-haired femme fatale for good?!

Debuts: Wednesday, December 10
Holiday Special Issue
Ho ho ho! It’s holiday fun in the Merry Marvel Manner, as the House of Ideas hangs the stockings by the chimney with care in hopes that Galactus won’t soon be there. The X-Men celebrate their first holiday in their new home of San Francisco—and their first without Kitty Pryde among them in X-MEN: Blue Christmas by Jim McCann and Todd Nauck. Meanwhile, in the days before Secret Invasion, one family finds even the most humble of holiday celebrations can be infiltrated by the Skrulls in a tale of holiday horror by Ryan Penagos and Juan Doe. And hey, what’re the holidays like for Jack Russell—Werewolf by Night? Find out in “WEREWOLF BY EVE!” by Marvel.com’s own Ben Morse with art by Stephanie Buscema. All of this, and…”Santa Claus vs. The Illuminati?!” ‘Tis the season, and Brian Reed and Val Semeiks will bring it to ya! So stop on by for some eggnog, dreidel spinning and probably a fist fight or two with your favorite Marvel heroes and villains in the Marvel Digital Comics Holiday Special!
