Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg, the Batmobile lost a wheel… and you know the rest! Read these 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. DC’s Batman Smells, Robin Laid An Egg, is a heartwarming new holiday anthology coming as a gift to you this this holiday season!

If you’re looking for a festive comic book to cozy up with, Batman Smells, Robin Laid an Egg #1 is a holiday anthology worth checking out. The collection features six unique stories set during the season, bringing together a mix of emotions, creativity, and humor. I really appreciated the variety here, from Dr. Mid-Nite’s hauntingly quiet Christmas to Marv Wolfman’s reflective Deadman tale. The Secret Six story tugged at my heartstrings—who knew Bane could stir up that kind of emotion?

One thing threw me, though: there’s no Batman story in the issue, despite the cheeky title. But honestly, that didn’t stop me from enjoying the mix of characters and stories. Local talent Aaron Conley’s page art really stood out—vivid, detailed, and just the right touch of holiday flair.

You can find this title on our new comic book wall, so grab it while it’s here! It’s the perfect companion for the season, whether you’re a hardcore DC fan or just love a good holiday-themed read.
