Cover by Chynna Clugston-Major. Stories by Paul Dini and Stephen DeStefano. Art by Tony Cervone, Spike Brandt and Stephen DeStefano. It's Paul Dini's annual Christmas celebration, and he's invited Santa's bratty daughter again. Jingle Belle may be the coolest thing in the North Pole, but that's sort of like being the handsomest guy in comics (if you get my self-deprecating drift; we ain't models for a reason!). This means a life filled with ho-ho-humdrum, so what's a girl to do but stir up a little trouble? Makes it hard, though, when Mrs. Claus sits down to write her yearly holiday letter. How does one sugarcoat her daughter's many arrests, mishaps, and hang-ups? And she's got plenty to explain this year when Jing starts an all-girl band with Tashi, Polly Green and Texas supergal Ida Red! The main story is by Dini and Warner Bros. animators Tony Cervone and Spike Brandt, with an eight-page Santa Claus story by original Jingle Belle artist Stephen DeStefano! 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.

Written by Paul Dini. Art by Nicoletta Baldari. Cover by Stephanie Buscema. We all know that Santa arrives on Christmas Eve bearing bright, shiny new toys for happy kids everywhere. But what happens to the humble homespun holiday gifts often passed over in the rush-the grandmother-made sock animals, or the paste and cardboard unicorns given from little sisters to older brothers? Quite often they wind up shoved aside, ignored or tossed in the trash with the wrapping paper-until the night after Christmas, when they are rescued and magically brought to life by the mysterious Queen of Toys. A strange being both kindly and vengeful, the Queen is amassing an army of abandoned toys, 'The Homemades,' for the sole purpose of vanquishing the Kringle family and seizing the holiday season for herself. Only Jingle Belle and an odd assortment of her friends stand a chance of foiling the Queen's plans. But first, Jingle must unravel the mystery behind the Queen's origins, and confront a heartbreaking secret from a Christmas long past. Santa Claus's rebellious teenage daughter Jingle Belle returns in a brand new story filled with humor, heart, and holiday magic. Creator Paul Dini (Batman: The Animated Series, Dark Knight, Zatanna) is back! Cover price $4.99.
