After spending some time talking about what we got for Christmas, and best Christmas memories from childhood (spoiler: none of Amanda's childhood memories are anything but heartbreaking and hilarious), we talk about the Doctor Who Christmas special, The Husbands of River Song. We talk about the episode's weird mix of farce and heartstring plucking, how it might mean some solid writing on showrunner Steven Moffat's part to tie River's character closely to her first appearance, and how it paints the Doctor as a remorseless and opportunistic genocidal monster. Really.

We also discuss: DK III #2, written by Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello, with pencils by Andy Kubert and inks by Klaus Janson, Teen Titans #15, written by Scott Lobdell and Will Pfeifer with art by Ian Churchill and Miguel Mendonca, and Darth Vader #14, written by Kieron Gillen with art by Salvador Larroca!
