It’s time for that jolly guy in red to appear!
Okay so it’s the weekend prior to Christmas and you’ve been busy, busy, busy. I can relate. Buying for that special Comic Fan in your life is not easy unless you know what they read, what they’ve already read and whether they read issues or collected volumes. Beyond that they may have once read comic books have since stopped and now only collect merchandise that they like about a favorite character.
My list below are books I’m looking for but tastes differ, if you need a specific suggestion use the e-mail I’ve included below and I’ll do my best to help you out. Some readers like horror, or independent more then me and some like manga, romance or kid friendly titles and that’s great but, the list below is mostly for a Marvel/DC junkie like me
No matter what the situation I have suggestions.
