FIRST LOOK: YULETIDE #1 Begins a Below-Freezing Christmas Adventure from Creators George Northy and Rachele Aragno

Spanning Three, Extra-Long, 40-Page Monthly Chapters, YULETIDE Counts Down to an Artfully Timed Finale Just in Time for the Holidays!

Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to reveal the first look into YULETIDE #1 – a dazzlingly horrific holiday adventure from creators George Northy (EC’s Shiver SuspenStories) and Rachele Aragno (Mike Mignola’s Leonide the Vampyr) told across three, double-sized 40-page chapters counting down to Christmastime!

Have you ever wondered why our brightly colored and joyously cheerful Christmas festivities are held at the peak of winter’s frigid darkness? That is no mere coincidence—and now the truth about the monsters the yuletide holds at bay will finally be revealed this October 15th in this soon-to-be-classic holiday thrillride in the tradition of Hocus Pocus, The Goonies, and Goosebumps!

Welcome to the small town of Christmas, Pennsylvania—the merriest place on Earth . . . or so they’d like everyone to think. When December rolls around, these folks pull out all the stops for America’s biggest, brightest holiday display . . . but not everyone in Christmas, PA, is so enthusiastic. Teens Jake, Abe, and Wyn are more interested in the dark side of the holiday that their parents like to pretend doesn’t exist . . . The ancient legends of mythic monsters and pagan pandemonium that are deeply tied to the festival’s long-forgotten origins. So when their hobby leads them to an abandoned wing of the local Christmas museum to investigate, they’ll discover an ancient relic that, when activated, will bring a furious procession of yuletide horrors long since banished from our plane—and with it, a darkness that has been waiting centuries for its chance to overtake the world!

Already in development as a feature film from production company Valhalla Entertainment and producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Walking Dead, Aliens), YULETIDE is a new holiday classic that you’ll soon know by heart! The countdown to a Christmas melée for the ages starts October 15th as creators George Northy and Rachel Aragno present the first of three extra-sized, 40-page issues bringing winter’s darkest horrors into the brightly lit holiday season – in YULETIDE #1!
