Santa Nazi is back! The Basterds were sure they'd put this bowlful of jelly in the freezer permanently...with a missile shoved where the treetops don't glisten for good measure! Rocket has a plan to take down the King of Coal but he's gonna need 12 reindeer, and where's he going to find that at this time of year...Meanwhile Squirrel Girl gets dressed up as Mrs Santa to infiltrate the Third Reich's Yuletide Ball and find out what the plan for the unjolliest fatman is! The Captain isn't as thrilled by being dressed up as an elf but perhaps he can find some fun with the other uzi-wielding little sprites.

The LIVING MUMMY #1
"Next of Kin" Part One
WRITTEN by Neal Gaiman
ART by Clayton Crain
Plot by Zach
The LIVING MUMMY has moved to Arizona! After learning that he is listed as an ailing resident's next of kin N'Kantu has relocated to the Golden Sands Retirement Home. There he met Abilene Maycrux, a spirited 87 year old former actress and model, who claims to be his descendant!
Although his limited ability as a conversationalist proved to be an obstacle the pair quickly bonded. Abilene was happy for a new car for a lifetime's worth of stories of her time in show business, the mummy appreciated the company. The two sat in the park together, watched reruna of Abilene's movies, and even proved to be a formidable team in Bingo Night.
The mummy thought he had found a place to hang his wrappings, at least for a time, but fate had other plans. Another resident was recently found Dead, apparently strangled. It looks like foul play is afoot and all signs point to our hero. Can N'Kantu clear his name? Will He and Abilene finally wipe the smug grin off Myrtle's face in the next Bingo tournament? Find out in ... The LIVING MUMMY!

Original Angel Variant Cover by ALEX ROSS
Theme Song: King's College Choir - Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!
•PHOENIX stands trial for freeing the former PRIME SENTINELS without permission and for unlawfully entering the minds of the mayors of Utopia, DAVID the POSTMAN and ASTRID BLOOM. Having found no evidence that they used their mental powers to win the election or to incite anger and fear in Utopians, Jean may find herself and her increasingly unpopular X-Men eXiled!
•ARCHANGEL and CANDY 'SERAPH' SOUTHERN's twins are born on the solstice! Announcing the births of BELLE and WARREN WORTHINGTON IV! Mutant babies born of a human mother and mutant father, their DNA infused with CELESTIAL technology? Sounds like the messiahs the ACOLYTES' religious texts foretold! CLAN AKKABA, the cult of dead APOCALYPSE, also wants the newborns, and both sides will tear Utopia, each other, and anyone who gets in the way apart to get them!
•As KATU calls down destructive tentacles of cold plasma sprites from the upper atmosphere to blast the shapeshifting cultists, SENYAKA's psi-whips, VINDALOO's flaming napalm, and MELLANCAMP's claws tear through the PSI-COPS protecting the infirmary! Archangel and the twins' godparents, ICEMAN and Phoenix, may be the newborns' last line of defense!

•Israel's Lake Hula Resort and Spa is one of the world's most exclusive... partly because it is staffed solely by and caters solely to mutants. DAVID HALLER finds himself drawn there but not for reiki and hydrotherapy: everyone at the resort is one of his escaped splinter personalities! They don't want to return to his mind for reintegration, and to ensure this, some of them plan to remove David's head!
•Someone or something is trapping David's psychic essences and making them HOUNDS: mutants with various powers transformed into vicious trackers and killers of other mutants! Aromatherapy deep cleanse facials can't be the cause of this. Or can they?
•With the help of the memory-manipulating splinter personality calling himself PTONOMY, can David free his other states of mind from the embrace of the mysterious dark queen perverting their temporary bodies?

Variant Excalibur Christmas Cover by DAVE COCKRUM
Theme Song: Sarah McLachlan - Angel
•X-Corps take comatose MEGGAN to the Muir Island mutant hospital and research station for DR. KEVIN MACTAGGERT to look after her. Pragmatic security chief BRIAN BRADDOCK and an uncharacteristically cold BANSHEE believe Meggan is too great a risk to be treated there... or to remain alive.
•The recently reawakened EMMA FROST takes stock of where and when she is and what she will do now. SIRYN worries about her father Banshee's post-resurrection attitude adjustment. DAZZLER prepares to sing at a rocking new year's eve party in Time's Square. And M, the PENANCE TWINS, and EMPLATE do what they've always done: pretend like nothing is wrong and enjoy X-Mas family dinner.
•The armoured NANNY and her fearsome ORPHAN MAKER have been kidnapping mutant children with Down's Syndrome or other developmental conditions from notoriously impoverished, dangerous, and anti-mutant countries, to care for them at Boston's Sunset Orphanage. Will DR. CECILIA REYES, TRIAGE, and ELIXIR alert the authorities or can Nanny's activities be covertly sponsored by X-Corps? It could be just the X-Mas miracle these very special youngsters need.

1437 - King James I of Scotland has just been assassinated, but not by his Uncle as history believes.

Never mind England, the entire world will fall to this symbiote army. Unless of course the Agents can put history back on course!

Buenos X, formerly Buenos Aires before the detonation of a weapon of mass mutation, succeeded in declaring independence from the oppressive and anti-mutant Argentinian government. But Daken, son of Wolverine and former leader of the mutant terrorist organization MUSIK, was seen fighting the Weapon-X group for Buenos X’s independence (last ish - Ex.) and pictures have reached the White House! These “terrorist ties” cause the new city-state to be deemed a rogue nation by the U.S. President, who vows to take all necessary action to ensure MUSIK does not rise again! After consulting with former world leaders Hank “Beast” McCoy and Piotr “Colossus” Rasputin, Professor X believes the best option to avoid escalation is to hand Daken over to the All-Winners Squad to answer for his crimes. Problem is, Daken has vanished! It’s a mad dash for Wolverine, Storm, and the others to find Buenos X’s most wanted before America attacks - but in a city full of disgruntled mutants, Daken has radicalized some friends of his own! You just can’t stop the MUSIK!

Plot by BANEOFKINGS
Art by FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA
“ONE, TWO, THREE, COME FLOAT WITH ME…” Part 1 of 4 “27 YEARS LATER…”
Theme Song: Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Twenty-Seven years after his first encounter with Pennywise the Dancing Clown, ERIK LEHNSHERR finds himself lured back to the small town where it all began, Derry, Maine. Erik this time has the Brotherhood of Mutants with him, but the now-adult kids who he worked with to defeat the Clown last time have failed to show, for whatever reason. And that’s probably a good thing, because this time, Pennywise isn’t going to hold anything back, and if the Brotherhood thought that New Orleans was challenging – they haven’t seen nothing yet! One by one, they start getting attacked by something that claims it has everything they desire. And for some of the younger Brotherhood recruits, tired of a life constantly on the run, PENNYWISE’s false promises may be to hard to ignore. Either way, regardless of Pennywise’s presence, The Brotherhood’s days may be numbered when they decide to take residence for the Christmas period at the abandoned hotel known only as The Overlook Hotel, a sister hotel with the same name – and a similar horrible past – to the one in the Rocky Mountains…

But can X-23 and GAMBIT deliver their precious cargo – its contents unknown even to them – to its destination? And will Laura be willing to let PROJECT ZERO’s sacrifice be for nothing?
