Impulse #45

A holiday issue with pure charm to spare — this February 1999 DC comic features a wonderfully chaotic cover by Craig Rousseau and Wayne Faucher, showing Impulse zooming through a starry night sky right alongside Santa Claus, who clings wide-eyed to a speeding green sleigh as gifts scatter in his wake. Impulse eagerly calls out "What've you got for me? Can I see, huh? Can I?!" while other speedsters trail behind shouting "Hey, wait up!" — perfectly capturing the character's boundless, kid-like enthusiasm. Writer William Messner-Loebs and artist Craig Rousseau deliver "The Christmas Impulse!" as a seasonal adventure that looks like an absolute delight.
