DC Comics has announced Santa is back in a new comic book series, Batman – Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns by Jeff Parker and Lukas Ketner, coming to local comic book shops this winter, publishing Wednesdays in the five weeks leading up to Christmas! But this is comics, so there’s always a twist when DC’s Santa Claus and Batman are involved!

In the five issues of Batman – Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns, horrors haunt the Christmas season as life-drained bodies litter the countryside, each marked with a strange symbol. The Justice League responds—but it’s a trap! The heroes are pulled from our world, but not before Batman helps Robin escape. Now Damian Wayne must seek out Zatanna and the one and only Santa Claus if there’s any hope of saving their friends and family.

DC’s wildest characters arrive this time to face a powerful foe…the Silent Knight!

Batman – Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns by Jeff Parker, Lukas Ketner, Marcelo Maiolo, and Pat Brosseau will publish Wednesdays between November 27 and December 25. Batman – Santa Claus: Silent Knight Returns #1 will have a main cover by Bernard Chang and variant covers by Dan Mora, Kevin Wada, and Erica Henderson. Collectors can also kickstart the holidays with a special gift-wrapped (polybagged), evergreen-scented variant cover by Dan Hipp!
