10 Gifts for Marvel Lovers
Marvel mania is bigger than ever these days. But with so much Marvel Comics merchandise to choose from, it can be tough to know what to buy the superhero fan in your life this holiday season. Here are the 10 gifts they must own.
1. Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited Subscription
Marvel’s Digital Comics Unlimited service is basically the comic book equivalent of Netflix. A subscription gives readers access to tens of thousands of digital comics on a computer or tablet. If you sign up for the annual subscription, you even get free goodies like variant comics and an exclusive action figure. Buy the item here.
2. 'Spider-Verse' Hardcover
"Spider-Verse" is the Spider-Man crossover to end all crossovers. This massive story teams Peter Parker with an army of Spider-Men and Women from different universes, in a fight against a family of vampires called the Inheritors. This massive hardcover collects the main story and all its numerous tie-in comics for one epic, wild ride. Buy the item here.
3. Hulkbuster Iron Man & Hulk ArtFX+ Statues
This amazing pair of statues recreates the titanic clash between Iron Man and Hulk from “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” The Hulkbuster statue alone clocks in at nearly a foot tall. Luckily, they’re designed to be displayed as a set or individually, so you don’t have to buy both. Buy the item here.
4. Deadpool Video Game
These days, most Marvel-themed video games are aimed at casual players and smartphone users. Luckily, Activision’s 2013 Deadpool game has found new life now that it’s been ported to the Xbox One and Playstation 4. This violent action game isn’t for kids, but it’s the perfect way for Deadpool fans to fill the wait until the Merc With a Mouth hits the big screen next year. Buy the item here.
5. Marvel Collector Corps Subscription
Rather than pick out a gift for the Marvel fan in your life, why not let Marvel do it for you? Each Collector Corps box contains several mystery items, including multiple Funko figurines and a T-shirt. Every item is exclusive to Collector Corps, so it really does scratch that collecting itch. Buy the item here.
6. Spider-Gwen Hoodie
Is there any new Marvel hero with a cooler costume design than Spider-Gwen? Now you can make that look your own with this stylish hoodie. It’s even available in regular and sleeveless varieties for those fans who don’t want to be limited by the weather. Buy the item here.
7. 'Ms. Marvel' Vol. 1 Hardcover
Ms. Marvel is easily one of the best comics Marvel has launched in the last decade. This oversized hardcover collects the first year’s worth of stories. Get acquainted with Kamala Khan as she juggles the responsibilities of being a teenager with overbearing parents and her budding career as a superhero. Buy the item here.
8. Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy Boxset
Marvel Legends are still the go-to action figures for Marvel fans who want to adorn their shelves in colorful superhero plastic. This snazzy boxset includes all five main Guardians members, but sporting their comic book costumes rather than their movie outfits. Buy the item here.
9. 'Hawkeye' by Matt Fraction and David Aja Omnibus Hardcover
Marvel finally wrapped up their critically-acclaimed Hawkeye comic earlier this year, and now it’s available in a giant Omnibus hardcover. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a funnier, more stylish or more heartfelt superhero comic. Thanks to the hardcover format it looks better than ever. Buy the item here.
10. Marvel Cinematic Universe Collection: Phase 2
For the hardcore Marvel movie fan, ordinary DVDs or Blu-rays won’t cut it.

It’s enough to keep any fan busy until Phase 3 kicks off next year. Buy the item here.
