COMIC BOOK FAN'S GIFT GUIDE


Shopping for people is tough – I get it. And when it comes to the distinguished comics fan in your life, you may not know where to begin when it comes to buying them a gift.

I’m here to help. Here are some good places to start. (Prices may vary depending on when you shop.)

DIGITAL COMICS SUBCRIPTIONS

Some people buy a lot of physical comics, but wish they could afford to read more. Subscriptions to digital comics can be an inexpensive way to give them a world of comics on their phones or smart devices. For more information on these, visit my article, SAVE MONEY: READ MORE COMICS, which goes into much greater depth on what each offers.

  • Marvel Unlimited ($9.99/month, $69/year, or $99/year for a premium membership that includes extra comics, pins, an action figure and discounts on Marvel merchandise)

  • DC Universe ($7.99/month, $74.99/year)

  • Comixology Unlimited ($5.99/month)

TABLETOP GAMES

If the comics fan in your life is also into board games, here are some options they mind enjoy that bring the world of comics to a medium they can play with their friends.

  • HeroClix

  • This is the gift that keeps on giving. This increasingly popular game offers the opportunity to buy more pieces for future gifts. It’s like a Pandora bracelet for comics fans! It has options for fans of both Marvel and DC Comics.

  • The Walking Dead board game ($24.99)

  • A fun, cooperative game based on the hit TV show.

  • If they like it, you can buy them the expansion for $18.99.

  • Munchkin Marvel Edition ($24.95)

  • The Munchkin games are always a blast, and pretty easy to learn.

  • If they like it, there are also 2 expansions for it out, both under $20.
