Quinton Johnson would appreciate a bit of encouragement from the ATX before he hits the stage in his first official performance in the Broadway cast of Hamilton.

'Twas the week before Christmas,
And all through the House of Torment,
Not a creature was stirring …
Except for the Krampus, in sinister ascent.

Hey, Grownups! More Graphic Novels!

Looking for a gift for some comics-loving friend this holiday season, citizen? Or want to get yourself a little something decent in the way of sequential art in a good-looking package?
