Vertigo : Winter's Edge No. 1 door Neil Gaiman

An omnibus title featuring seasonal short stories starring characters from all the Vertigo titles. Includes the following:

"House of Secrets" >> by Steven Seagle & Teddy Kristiansen (the framing story of the issue) is a bit about Rain being back in the House of Secrets for the Christmas season. She enters a door she hasn't seen before and meets the curator of the Gallery where secrets lost in art are hung.

"The Flowers of Romance" >> is a Sandman story starring Desire of The Endless by Neil Gaiman. A story of a satyr past his years, whose various loves have died. He asks Desire of just one wish fulfilled before Death visits him.

"Mazel Tov, Leo" >> from the series The Minx by Peter Milligan & Sean Philiips is the supposed coming to terms of an outsider to the life of one who shares the person known as The Minx.

"Spirit of the Season" >> from The Sandman Mystery Theater by Matt Wagner, Steven Seagle & John Snyder III gives a glimpse of how the bringer of dreams may deal with evil elements during the giving season.

"Deck the Halls" >> from the series The Dreaming by Caitlin Kiernan, Peter Hogan & Duncan Fegredo. We visit the homes of Cain & Abel getting all glittery for the festivities.

"Tell Me" >> from the long running series Hellblazer by Paul Jenkins & Paul Pope. What would make Constantine face the carol singing traditions of Christmas?

"Piss On Earth" >> from the series Nevada by Steve Gerber, Phil Winslade & Steve Leialoha. Unbelievable that someone could still be resentful over not being a part of the Christmas Pageant after 24 years.

"Thanks for Nothing" >> from Books of Magic by John Ney Rieber & Steve Parkhouse. Tim Hunter encounters the modern, acid-tripping version of the Little Match Girl trying to fight the clutches of Winter.

"And We're All Policemen" >> from the series The Invisibles by Grant Morrison, Philip Bond & Glynn Dilton
