The holiday season can never start early enough for the Official Comic Book of Christmas…

That’s cool. I get it. But you can do what I did in September with Archie’s Christmas Wonderland — buy it and sock it away until you’re ready for the red and green. It’s like a gift to your future self! (Or a stocking stuffer for a pal!)
Anyway, the 192-page ish is out Oct. 25. It lists for $9.99.
