Nerding 101: Holiday Gift Guide Pt. 4 - Stocking Stuffers

Still looking to get a few stocking stuffers for that non-geek? Here are a few suggestions to try to bring them to the dark side:

For the movie buff...

Kevin Smith's Green Hornet Vol. 1

This collects the first five issues of the "reboot" of the Green Hornet by Dynamite Entertainment. Written by Kevin Smith, the storyline is based on his script that the 2011 movie DIDN'T use. Includes a cover gallery, which is really nice given each issue of the floppies shipped with 5+ covers for EACH issue....


For the person who doesn't do "superheroes"...


Scalped TPBs (Vol. 1 - 6)

This one has no super powers and arguably no "heroes", but is fantastic! Set on a modern-day Indian reservation this is a gritty, realistic western-y drama. Far from the standard spandex & capes, nothing says Christmas like a trip to the casino...


For the comic fan who's been out of it for a while...


Wolverine Weapon X TPB Vol. 1 & 2
Great choice for Wolverine kicking ass! This one doesn't require you to have read 30 other books to understand the storyline. Written by Jason Aaron, (who also happens to write Scalped) its Wolverine doing what he does best! Yes, shish kebab is a perfectly acceptable Holiday meal...


For that new reader and future geek...


Tiny Titans TPBs
Perfect introduction to comics for kids, this is sure to get them hooked! (Even 20 something chicks love it!) No need to find the first volume, this is a title you can jump on board at any point.
