Creepshow

Creepshow: Holiday Special 2023 (One Shot) #1

Features two seasonal stories. Both are solid ideas, but neither is given any room to breathe and the issue as a whole really suffers for it.

It isn't all that bad in the first tale, “The Christmas Man”, because the story is intentionally simple and straightforward. That being said, the second tale, “Package Thief”, feels like it was hacked away at until some essential something was lost. Great concept, but it was over before it even got started! It could've filled this issue's page count (or more) by itself and would've been better off for it.

While this one shot deserved to have more meat on the bone, both stories looked great and the overall presentation made me excited to seek out more of these comics because the TV show is super fun.
