(Publication summary)
'Set about one year before the events of the film, the Bad Guys are ready to celebrate Christmas Day, their favorite day of the year. It's not the gifts or the merry-making that fuels their love for the holiday, however. While everyone is busy opening gifts on Christmas morning, nobody's around to stop the Bad Guys from pulling off the city-wide holiday heist of their dreams. They're forced to change their plans, however, when Christmas is cancelled. Instead of stealing, they do the unthinkable and put their villainous ways aside to help restore holiday cheer by giving to everyone in town, while also uncovering exactly why Christmas got canceled in the first place.'
