by

As a seasoned comic book aficionado who’s seen his fair share of Saturday morning cartoons and holiday specials, I can confidently say that MegaGhost Volume 1 is shaping up to be an extraordinary addition to my collection. The blend of nostalgia, horror, and adventure in this series has me reminiscing about the good old days of sugary cereals and fierce battles over the remote control.

If you’re looking for a truly unique holiday adventure with a bit of horror and Saturday morning cartoons vibes thrown in, hen MegaGhost Volume 1 has the perfect story for you. MegaGhost is written by Gabe Soria (Midnight Arcade, Batman ‘66) and illustrated by Gideon Kendall (Marley’s Ghost, Lester of the Lesser Gods), and Dark Horse Comics will be releasing the anticipated collection of issues #1 through #5 early next year. To celebrate the holidays, Soria and Kendall have discovered a long lost holiday special for MegaGhost, which they’ve recreated in delightful fashion in a story titled the MegaGhost of Christmas, and we’ve got your exclusive first look preview right here! You can check out the special holiday tale in the gallery below, and you can check out the full collection when it hits stores next January.

It appears that Soria and Kendall are the only ones who recall the mythical MegaGhost Saturday morning cartoon. Instead of letting its legacy fade away, they’ve now breathed life into the tales of Martin Magus within the pages of MegaGhost. Readers can expect a blend of mysticism, the supernatural, Kaiji destruction, and an unprecedented level of excitement. The argument over whether the show truly existed once continues, but fans can embark on a unique journey that will leave them longing for the chance to have witnessed it at its peak.
