The Holidays Never End In Dark Horse’s ‘Christmas 365’

What if it was Christmas all year round? That’s the idea behind Mikey Way, Jonathan Rivera, and Piotr Kowalski’s new comic Christmas 365, which debuts — when else — this December from Dark Horse Comics.

“Like most kids growing up, I never wanted Christmas to end,” said Way via press release provided to Comic Book Club. “When it’s over, you’re left having to wait an entire year for that magical feeling to return. I would often fantasize…what if it never had to end? That very thought was what sparked this story. But as the saying goes, is too much of a good thing not so good?”

In the new miniseries, a man named Peter Rockwell deals with a challenging and tragic year by hatching a plan to make Christmas last for 365 days — thanks to some advice from a Santa Claus at the local mall.

Christmas 365 is a satirical comedy about finding balance,” added Rivera. “It’s about pursuing your dreams without giving in to the temptation of a world that wants more and more of us each day, and learning the difference between what we want and what we need.  This book is also our love letter to all of the surreal suburban comedies we loved as kids like ‘Better Off Dead’ and ‘The ‘Burbs.’”

The book is written by Way and Rivera, with illustrations by Kowalski, colors by Brad Simpson, and letters by Joshua Reed. The first issue of Christmas 365 will hit stores on December 4, but if you want a preview you can check it out this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con. There will be a free singing on Saturday from 5pm to 6:30pm at the Dark Horse Comics booth #2615, with wristbands available first thing on Friday and Saturday mornings.
