Mikey Way debuts his Dark Horse Comics series, Christmas 365

Anna Zanes | July 24, 2024

Full article under the cut:

It might still be sunny out, but Mikey Way is stuck on Christmas. Alongside co-writer Jonathan Rivera and illustrator Piotr Kowalski, with Brad Simpson on colors, the My Chem guitarist-cum-graphic novelist (Electric Century, Collapser) has announced Christmas 365, an upcoming series with Dark Horse Comics, also home to Gerard Way’s Paranoid Gardens and The Umbrella Academy. This oddly feel-good story, bizarre and magical as it is loaded with gallows humor, follows the arc of Peter Rockwell and his family as they navigate the treacherous holiday season, aided by some words of wisdom from a strip mall Santa. Way describes the surreal satire astutely: “Like most kids growing up, I would often fantasize, ‘What if [Christmas] never had to end?’ That very thought was what sparked this story.” Though it's got the spirit of The Nightmare Before Christmas and the kooky suburban charm of Better Off Dead — this team has created a series that’s fresh, surprising, a bit spooky, and entirely their own. 

In speaking to their process, AP connected with co-writers Way and Rivera. “Finally being able to tell this story is a real dream come true! The idea came about a decade ago, and there were plenty of starts and stops in the process,” Way shares. “Putting it in comic form felt like the perfect way to tell the story exactly how we envisioned it after so many years of wanting to share it with the world. Let's be honest, I don't think there's a kid alive who hasn't wished Christmas would never end. Haven't we all fantasized about it being something we got to live day after day?” He continues, “I saw this as an opportunity to tell a funny but heartfelt story, in the vein of all of the classic ’80s and ’90s Christmas movies that I loved so much. I remember watching Home Alone and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation back to back one night and wondering, ‘What story is left to tell?’ An hour or two later, the framework for Christmas 365 was born.”

The connection between co-writers has been an ongoing one, though this project sees it come to fruition. “It's been really fulfilling getting to finally write a story with Jonathan Rivera, who is one of my best friends — I think we've known each other over 20 years now,” Way says. As for the rest of the highly experienced team, “Piotr Kowalski and Brad Simpson brought the story to life exactly as we imagined, giving it the feel and imagery of a ’90s Christmas movie through and through. Daniel Chabon has been a terrific editor to work with and really helped us keep the story focused. I am sure this goes without saying, but it has been a real honor to be able to put out a comic under the Dark Horse banner. The folks over there have always been super kind and supportive to me, and have a rich history with my brother. So to be joining the ‘family’ with my own story to tell is pretty surreal!” 

Rivera, also known for Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye, adds, “Mikey and I had been talking about this story for a while, but it really started to come together as a comic during the pandemic. We’re living in stressful times, so it felt so cathartic to work on such a sweet and strange story about forgiveness and spending time with the people we love. It’s also the type of story we rarely see in comics, and that made me really excited as well.” 

For the writer, a goal has been achieved with this project. Dark Horse has long been a northern star in the industry for Rivera, who caps the chat off with, “I’ve been a fan of Dark Horse comics since I picked up their first Aliens vs. Predator miniseries as a kid. I later worked with them when I ran the official Myspace for The Umbrella Academy back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. So it brings me great joy to come home again with a book that means so much to me!”

And if you want to take your storytelling to the next level, why not try full-cast audiobooks?

What listeners are saying: “The audio was the best surprise! I would recommend it as one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to.

Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont. While in the library, he finds a mysterious book hidden among the shelves. He sees wild tales inside, but what’s even stranger is a recording of his childhood. Soon he uncovers clues that lead him to a secret club where he hopes he can gain some insight. Will Zachary find the answers he’s looking for and understand his purpose? What listeners are saying: “If you like adventures with mystery and romance, I recommend this book. It was a truly good time. The audiobook in particular is fun. The book’s story-within-a-story-within-a-story structure lends itself to multiple different styles of narration and this didn’t skimp on that.” Graphic Audio LLC Narrators: Scott McCormick, Troy Allan, Jessica Lauren Ball, Khaya Fraites, Gabriel Michael, Torian Brackett, Taylor Coan, LaMont Ridgell, Robb Moreira, Laura C. Harris and David Cui Cui Dragons, family drama and simmering romance are front and center in Fourth Wing — the #1 New York Times bestselling novel and first in The Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros. Violet was supposed to live a quiet life among books, but the commanding general—Violet’s mother — has ordered her to become a dragon rider at Basgiath War College instead. Now, Violet must fight to the top and hope that her enemy, Xaden Rioson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader, doesn’t kill her in the process. What follows is a battle of strength, knowledge, trust and love. In this dramatized audio, you’ll find at least 12 narrators who help chronicle the events at Basgiath. What listeners are saying: “The immersive sound effects, background noises and stellar voice acting made it feel like I was watching a movie in my mind. What made this experience so amazing was how it enhanced the vivid world-building and characters that drew me in the first time I read it. If you haven’t read Fourth Wing yet—or if you’re thinking about revisiting it—I can’t recommend this version enough.” Blackstone Publishing Narrators: Andi Arndt, Hillary Huber, Elizabeth Evans, Brittany Pressley and Cassandra Campbell This gripping novel takes listeners through scandal, betrayal and murder. The story is centered around a group of wealthy and self-absorbed housewives whose sole existence revolves around visits to the Glow Beauty Salon. Shannon was once the queen of Buckhead, but when her politician husband, Bryce, dumps her, replacing her with Crystal, Shannon plans to take revenge. Crystal has no idea what awaits her, while Olivia, who has always wanted to take Shannon’s place as queen, realizes she must be manipulative to do so. And then there’s Jenny, the salon owner who knows everyone’s secrets. Which woman will come out on top, and who will end up dead? What listeners are saying: “One of Us is Dead on audiobook was great and made me realize why people love Jeneva Rose’s writing. This was my first read of hers and it won’t be my last!” Graphic Audio LLC Narrators: Bradley Foster Smith, Christopher Graybill, Eric Messner, Henry W. Kramer, Natalie Van Sistine, Debi Tinsley, Julie Hoverson, Gabriel Michael, Karen Foley, Karen Novack, Melody Muze and Alejandro Ruiz Known for her stunning blend of fantasy and romance, Sarah J. Maas—often called the reigning queen of Romantasy—kicked off her popularity with A Court of Thorns And Roses. This is the first novel in her bestselling series. This version—narrated by over 10 voices—follows 19-year-old huntress Feyre. After she kills a wolf to feed her family, she is kidnapped and dragged to a magical, treacherous land she’s only heard about in legends. Her captor? Tamlin, one of the most powerful faeries. Tamlin is a beast-like immortal, yet throughout her captivity, Feyre begins to see Tamlin as more than a monster. But still, something does not feel right in this enchanting place. What listeners are saying: “As someone who has read the book, hearing the book read by these amazing narrators made the book feel more real! I have listened to almost all the series in the Dramatized Adaptation and I am a huge fan! Kudos to the feeling and care the narrators added to these characters. Definitely recommend. Penguin Audio Narrators: Susan Lyons, Anna Bentink, Steven Crossley, Alex Tregear, Andrew Wincott and Owen Lindsay In this audiobook with six different narrators, Louisa Clark, an ordinary woman, takes a job as a caregiver for Will Traynor, a handsome, wealthy man left paralyzed after an accident. At first, Will’s rude ways have her rethinking the job, but when she learns of his plans to end his life, she reminds him why life is worth living. What listeners are saying: “I listened to the audiobook for this, which was a first for me, but the book was fantastic. I was so charmed! And not just with Lou, but Will, the male lead character, who was a bit much at first. Although, he really grew on me. This one gave me all the feels. Do yourself a favor and read it immediately.” Penguin Audio Narrators: Jenna Lamia, Bahni Turpin, Octavia Spencer and Cassandra Campbell This version of Kathryn Stockett’s best-selling novel delivers a rich and immersive listening experience through multiple narrators, including the incredible Octavia Spencer, who played Minny in the film. Set in Jackson, Mississippi, in the 1960s, the story follows three strong women: Aibileen, a wise and compassionate Black maid raising her 17th white child; Minny, her strong-willed best friend known for both her incredible cooking and her sharp tongue and Skeeter, an ambitious young white woman determined to become a writer. When Skeeter teams up with Aibileen and Minny to tell the untold stories of the maids, both danger and hope arise due to their secret collaboration. What listeners are saying: “The audiobook is phenomenal with a full cast of characters. It is definitely on my list of top 10 best audiobooks of all time. The characters are unforgettable, complex, and imperfect. This book was incredibly fascinating because the stakes were so high for the maids.” Source link

Unlike regular audiobooks, where you’ll find one narrator, the full-cast versions feature multiple voice actors—each portraying one character—and sometimes are accompanied by sound effects and music to enhance your listening experience.  Whether you listen to a sweet contemporary novel, a fast-paced thriller or a sweeping fantasy, these audiobooks offer more depth to the story, making each conversation or conflict more realistic and dramatic. Here, we compiled nine of our favorite full-cast audiobooks, from the romance and drama of Layne Fargo’s ice-skating romance The Favorites, to the adventure and intensity of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Ready for a completely immersive listening journey?
