Jumping On: Series Premieres, One-Shots, And New Story Arcs Kicking Off On December 4, 2024

One of the most frustrating things about finding new comics to read and enjoy is finding a good jumping on point. It can be confusing and disheartening to pick up a single issue from the middle of an arc without having the context of the previous chapters.

With that in mind, here are a few New Story Arcs, Series Premieres, and One-Shots that caught my eye for this upcoming New Comic Book Day, Wednesday, December 4th, 2024.

Featured Series Premieres, One-Shots, and New Story Arcs:

Dread the Halls #1, Image

In the long-standing December tradition of holiday themed horror, Image comics offers up a perfect stocking stuffer with a collection of horror tales to read curled up by the light of the Yule log

Long before Americans celebrated horror on Halloween, the Victorians did it gathered around a fireplace on Christmas Eve. Dread the Halls honors this macabre tradition by wishing you and yours Happy Holidays, with stories of ghosts, ghastly abominations, and vile creatures. 

Spread the dread this season in horrifically festive style.

Deadpool/Wolverine: Weapon X-Traction #1, Marvel

The eight-part epic story so big it ran across the entire Marvel line is collected for the first time.

When Wolverine and Deadpool are called upon to save the universe, you can absolutely rely on them… to totally screw things up. Featuring fearsome battles and fights across space and time, starring two men who cannot be killed, no matter how fearsome the battles they fight across space and time.

Explosions, deaths, epic battles across space and the Superior Deadpool and Wolverine await you in this volume.

Batman Smells, Robin Laid an Egg #1, DC

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, the Batmobile lost a wheel… and if you tell me you didn’t just sing that aloud, I’ll believe you, even though we both know you’re lying.

Six merry tales about characters from the DCU set during the holiday season. Be enthralled by Dr. Midnight’s literally silent night, become captivated by a Deadman story written by Marv Wolfman, and ponder the question: in a world without the Joker’s torment, is it really a wonderful life? Probably not.
