The clock is ticking on this holiday season, which means you’ve still got time to tick some people off your list! If you’re looking for gifts of the comic book persuasion, we’re here to help. Or, we were here to help last week with the iFanboy 2012 Holiday Gift Guides! Click the titles to get to the gift guides:

Comics for Kids!

We all know the best way to get new comics readers is to start them off early. Besides, wouldn’t you rather have the little ones in your life build their reading skill and appreciation for art than spend even MORE time in front of the TV?

Ron Richards may not have kids himself, but he’s never grown up. Plus he’s an uncle, so that counts for something. He’s put together a list of holiday gift suggestions for kids of all ages. From the super popular Avengers or Adventure Time to classics like A Wrinkle In Time, there’s something here for just about every kid on your list! Even My Little Pony!

New Reader Friendly Books!

Sure, we all know how great comics are, with the wonderful art and thrilling stories, but not everyone in your life reads comics…yet! It’s your duty as a loyal comic reader to spread the gospel and what better what then with the holidays?

Ali Colluccio has done the research and field tested some of the best comics picks for every type of person in your life. Whether it’s your hard to impress Dad, or too cool for school sibling, Ali serves up some of the best comics to resonate with any reader ranging from Hawkeye to Parker to even something for a fan of the Food Network.

Graphic Novels and Collected Editions!

This year has been bountiful with the number of amazing graphic novels and collected editions available to be wrapped up and given as the gift of comics.

Josh Flanagan has sifted through the released and pulled out the gems, the books that are sure to enrich the lives of anyone you know.  Whether it’s super hero fare with Batman by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo or Spider-Men by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli or it’s modern sci-fi with the one of  year’s best book, Saga, or any of the other great titles, you can’t go wrong with this quality list.

Comics Stuff That Isn’t Comics!

The great thing about being into comics is that the gifts don’t have to just stop with the books themselves! No! The world of comics has evolved, thanks to…licensing!

Conor Kilpatrick has waded through all the statues and action figures and pajamas and video games to bring you the best of the best. So if you’re looking for the latest XBox 360 game to pass the time, or that fun piece of clothing to declare that someone is a comics fan, look no further!

The Expensive Stuff!

Nothing says “I love you” and “Happy Holidays” better than a big ol’ tome of comics greatness. And luckily, we have an embarrassment of riches in this department.
