At year's end, every choice made will affect lives around the world. Seven heroes stand before the monstrous hordes of the Silent Knight. Seven heroes enter the mysterious castle hold of the Hollow Kingdom to face a test of true spirit and will. Ask yourself: Which team would you be on? What skill, power, or knowledge would make the difference against this existential threat? What does solstice mean, anyway? Did this series maybe just go a bit harder than you expected from your holiday special? Good. Whatever the yule brings, please have a happy New Year from the DC Universe!
Overall, I absolutely loved this book for its outlandish craziness. It truly captured the spirit of a proper holiday special, perfectly spread across five issues. I really hope we see more of this kind of fun from comics next year. Read Full Review

This issue is as busy as the rest of the issues, with monsters and deathtraps aplenty. There are a lot of fun elements like a Yeti army that Santa has befriended over the years, and even time for some emotional moments like when Thunderheart finds out what's become of her father. Read Full Review

I would say it doesn't hold a candle to the first run plot and story wise, but art, hero team work, and writing quality went up with Batman Santa Clause: Silent Knight Returns. Read Full Review
In comparison to last year's Santa event, this one was a dud. There's literally no comparison between this year's and last year's run. The story was as scattered as a shotgun blast. The plot made no sense whatsoever. There were far too many characters to keep track of and there were no explanations to most of it. The one thing I did like was making Mrs. Clause and elf. However, it does make you think about how many elves in his village he had relations with.
