Gift Guide 2016

Need a distraction? Of course you do. We all do. So let something shimmery, sparkly, glittering, and bright steal your gaze. Rip yourself away from apocalyptic headlines, if just for a minute, and embrace your inner magpie. Attach these baubles to your ensembles, station them at your work, and use them to banish away the encroaching darkness. But don't hoard these precious treasures and jewels; the idea here is to share them with your friends and family this holiday season!

There’s a strong strain of the collector in fandom, and buying for a comics fan can be a difficult endeavor, because so much of what they want is something they already know about. But even the most famous writers, artists, and characters have obscurer works that often go overlooked. This gift guide looks at deep cuts for the superfan in your life, and we've divided into three sections; favorite artists, favorite writers, and favorite characters. If you know someone who is passionate about Darwyn Cooke, devoted to Warren Ellis, or a big-time Superman fan, we may have the perfect gift suggestion.

The holiday season is fast approaching, and that means it's time to hit the shops! If you're looking for inspiration for gifts for all the important people in your life, ComicsAlliance has put together a series of guides centered on different themes and personalities! It's likely that everyone read some form of comics as a child, and for many of us it's where our passion for the medium first began. If you've got a young reader in your life who can't get enough of comic books, or you're ready to start them on that adventure, we've put together a list of some of the best titles for young readers available to buy today.
