Ryan gasped as the tree bent and a face appeared among the branches and bark. "Do you plan to murder us in our sleep?"

Ryan's mouth flopped up and down like a kid playing with automatic windows. Finally, he found his voice. "N-no. I didn't know you were alive."

With everything from zombified Black Friday shoppers to talking Christmas trees, the holidays can be rough. Picking out that perfect gift for that special someone is a challenge. What do you get the villain who wants everything?

Stickyfingers, Glue's right-hand henchperson, goes Christmas shopping only to find the store overrun with Black Friday shoppers. Normally, bustling crowds aren't a problem for a super-villain, especially one with a history of pickpocketing. In fact, the shoppers might help "donate" to the cause. However, these aren't your normal out of control holiday shoppers—they've been zombified. What was an arduous, yet normal, task becomes a fight for survival. 

The most wonderful time of the year just got a little more dangerous.
