Paul Dini's Jingle Belle comes to Top Cow in a special 'Halloween collides with Christmas' one-shot written by Dini and drawn by Stephanie Gladden (Powerpuff Girls, Chowder, Hopster's Tracks). In years past, Santa has triumphed over a variety of enemies including the Devil himself. Now, St. Nick gets ready to face his greatest challenge ever in Jingle Belle: Santa Claus Vs. Frankenstein!

Years ago, Rusty was mortally wounded and Doc saved his son's life by placing his brain into a robotic body. But lately, Rusty's been acting more and more like a robot. Is he losing his humanity? Or is he falling victim to an evil plot? Find out in this issue!

His name is Knossos. With the power to manipulate earth, he is one of the most powerful beings alive. And he has only one weakness: The Sword. His first mistake was helping to create it. Killing the mother of Dara Brighton, the Sword's current wielder, may be his last.

Stranded on an asteroid populated by gigantic, ravenous, man-eating space worms, things finally start to look up for our small band of survivors when they are rescued by a group of robot miners. When the robots reveal they have a working spaceship, our heroes finally see a way off the asteroid. The alien ship is capable of running on plain water, of which our team has more than enough back at their destroyed vessel. As they form into small teams to recover the H20, Atom continues to have bizarre physical reactions from his exposure to the mysterious alien crystals. Evelyn has similar reactions when she is 'infected' by the crystals during a battle with the worms. While trying to evade the creatures, Atom and Evelyn take a detour through a tunnel that leads them straight to the core of the asteroid. It is there they discover the well-hidden secret about the true purpose and nature of the asteroid. But in making this discovery, they have put Earth itself at risk and forever altered the course of humanity.
