In consideration for the season are the following new releases for 2025.
Dread the Halls (One-Shot)
Writers: Chris Ryall & Jordan Hart
Artists: Walter Pax et al.
Arriving December 3 2025, this 72-page anthology rekindles the Christmas Eve tradition of telling ghost stories—only these tales are darker, bloodier, and wrapped in twinkling lights. Imagine Creepshow colliding with A Christmas Carol if Marley’s chains dragged more than just regret. Each short story offers a distinct take on yuletide fear, from haunted hearths to interstellar dread. It’s a rare big-publisher project that gives holiday horror the prestige treatment, showing how the genre has clawed its way back into the mainstream with polish and purpose.
Yuletide
Writer: George Northy
Artist: Rachele Aragno
This three-issue limited series (October–December 2025) unfolds in the deceptively quaint town of Christmas, Pennsylvania, where an ancient relic awakens something cold-blooded beneath the tinsel and cheer. Northy’s script blends adventure and pagan folklore, while Aragno’s art teases the line between whimsy and nightmare. Yuletide is perfect for readers who prefer myth over massacre—those who savour slow-burn dread steeped in legend. It’s a reminder that not all Christmas horror is about blood on the snow; sometimes the terror is in what’s been waiting under it.
Silent Night / Deadly Night – Dark Winter #1
Writer: James Kuhoric
Artist: Andrea Arcari
The infamous slasher Santa sharpens his axe again in this continuation of the cult horror film series. Dark Winter brings back the grim absurdity of the original—mixing holiday nostalgia with arterial spray. Christmas spirit, in this case, is terminal. This comic taps directly into the aesthetic of 80s B-movie horror, complete with cheesy one-liners and snow-dusted carnage. For genre purists, it’s a warm glass of bloody eggnog—familiar, guilty, and satisfying.
Inuit #2
Writer: Massimo Rosi | Artist: Nicola Izzo
When the first humans emerged, they didn’t come alone—they brought extinction. Entire civilizations, ancient creatures, and forgotten races vanished under the shadow of mankind’s hunger for dominance. Legends speak of the giants, known in some tongues as Kiviuq, but more commonly remembered as the Inuits—mighty beings who once roamed freely across vast, unspoiled lands. And this title started its “rampage” last month. To see where this title goes with this next issue may well scare the socks off many readers!
Instead of fearing a yuletide, what’s presented is a tale set in the twilight of folk terror, and perhaps the coming solstice. Driven by fear and greed, humans turned against these ancient people, waging a brutal campaign to wipe them from existence. Forced to flee into the frozen wilderness of the north, the Inuits became prey in a relentless genocide, their blood staining the snow of lands no man had dared conquer before.
Savage Tales Winter 2025 Special #1
Writer: David Avallone
Artists: Eman Casallos, Mariano Benitez-Chapo, Hamish Munro-Cook
Although released earlier this year, Dynamite’s Savage Tales deserves mention. Winter can arrive late in some regions, and this anthology satisfies those still caught in the chill.
Within these pages, Eman Casallos launches “Mutiny on Mars,” starring John Carter and Dejah Thoris; Mariano Benitez-Chapo delivers “The Real Thing” with Vampirella; and Hamish Munro-Cook concludes Captain Gullivar Jones’s saga in “His War: Chapter III.” As a bonus, the one-shot reprints Kurt Busiek and Benjamin Dewey’s Seeing Red—a Red Sonja: Black, White, Red tale set amid the frostbitten Mountains of Night. Blending sword-and-planet adventure with gothic chills, this winter anthology carries the torch of classic pulp horror into the modern age.
