Instead, all of its contents (except "Slaybelle") were combined with the Top Cow Holiday Special and published in flipbook format. In December 2011, the Jingle Belle portion of the flipbook was reprinted as a stand-alone comic called "Gift Wrapped", "Jingle Belle's Christmas Party", a series of illustrations by David Alvarez with narrative by Dini, was published on the PaulDini.com website in December 2017.
