Holidays 2009: What Did You Get?

Now that the the major holidays have come and gone this year, there is only one big question that remains:

What Did You Get?

Myself, the comics/geek quotient was pretty light this year. The ony comic book related gifts that I got were the Battlefields Volume 1 hardcover and some frames for some of the art that I have let accumulate over the last two years. As for geek related gifts, I was particularly excited to get the Star Trek Season 1 and the Star Trek Original Motion Picture Blu-Ray sets, as well as Super Mario Bros. for the Wii.

Did you get any cool comic book related gifts? Anything geek related? Anything particularly fun?

Comments

  1. The Irredeemable trade and Ghostbusters for the Wii; both great fun!

  2. Kirby: King of comics.

  3. Daredevil Brubaker Omnibus 1, District 9 Blu Ray

  4. Cap Brubaker Omnibus Vol 2 (Death of Cap), Uncharted 2/Arkham Asyl/AC2 for PS3 – just bought Vol 1 Brubaker DD Omnibus and all 3 Vols of Miller DD TPBs.

  5. Daredevil statue and Batman neon sign

  6. As soon as Amazon delivers it in Brazil (it’s been 9 weeks and counting): GL TPB vol. 3 (Wanted: Hal Jordan) and the Watchmen Ultimate Cut (5 DVDs!). So, I guess I got them, but don’t yet have them.

  7. Absolute Sandman.  Santa knows what I like.

  8. Absolute Sandman Volumes 1 and 2 ( getting the third and fourth volumes for my birthday a month from now) Absolute Dark Knight , Assassin’s Creed 2 Salt and Peppermills, Neil Young archives Vol 1. Blu-Ray set and gift certificates for my favourite record store and my local comicbook store. It was a good year christmas.

  9. I got an iPhone off my girlfriend. No comics this year but I did get inglourious bastards from my girl friends mother

  10. My family has resorted to the oh-just-get-her-something-with-Wonder-Woman mentality… I got 3 PEZ dispensers, 2 copies of a book called "What Would Wonder Woman Do", as well as Wonder Woman: The Complete History and a Wonder Woman braclet (both of which I have, but didn’t have the heart to tell anyone).

    But, I also got Star Trek on Blu-Ray, which I’ve already watched twice 🙂

  11. Ooh forgot also got blu-ray of Superman/Batman : Public Enemies

  12. It was a great year for me: I got the Absolute Edtion of The Long Halloween, New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii, Star Trek Orginal Series Season 1 on the Blu Ray, The Wire the Complete Series on DVD, Gladiator/Braveheart/Up!/Wall E/Cars on Blu Ray.  Plus 2 older PS3 games.  I can not recommend the Orginal Star Trek Series more.  The treatment that was given to the show was amazing.  It actually makes me hope that they can do something very similar to the Star Wars Blu Rays when they come out.  Hope everyone is had a great holiday! 

  13. Comics wise all I got was Blankets.  I’ve got some gift cards that are definitely going toward the Astonishing X-Men Omnibus or the first Locke & Key hardcover and a few trades

  14. Just DVDs: Patton, Rushmoore, The Life Aquatic, The Darjeeling Limited, and Gran Turino.

  15. Green Lantern – Green Arrow Vol. 1 and The Mighty Avengers Vol. 1 hardcover. excited about both of them

  16. Captain America, Hellboy and Invincible…..i sound like Josh. But the books are so AWESOME!!!!

  17. A bagged and boarded gift cert to an LCS i’ve been meaning to get to, Star Wars dvds to replace ones lost to an ex, Wonder Woman decorative mini trash bin (which is now holding books by my bedside), various games for the Wii (ostensibly for my son but I’ll have as much fun as he will) and a drama free day with my family. Not a bad year.

  18. I was a little sad that i didn’t get Criminal collection… But excited that i grabbed 2 3 4 5 of Scott Pilgrim with my Gift Cards

  19. Logicomix, Scalped volumes 4 & 5, Eisners’s Comics and Sequential Art/Graphic Storytelling and Visual Narrative, and Star Trek on DVD. Good stuff! 

  20. Super Mario Bros for the Wii as well.  I consider Eternals and the first graphic novel for Dark Tower that I bought back earlier this month a gift to myself.  Heck, it was $1 each on TFAW, so of course, I’m giving myself presents…

  21. Both Captain America Omnibuses, starman omnibus vol 1, chew trade, luna park trade, hellboy library edition volume 2. empowered vol 1, and Dresden files storm front vol. 1.

     apparently my family knows about my amazon wishlist. Also got a Green lantern statue.

  22. Nothing comics, surprisingly. Then again I didnt ask for much.

     

    I did get a lot of great stuff though. Including:

     

    Borderlands, Left 4 Dead 2, 3 John Swartzwelder Books (Time Machine Did It, Double Wonderful, The Exploding Detective), Watchmen the Ultimate Cut, Top Gear Season 10, Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut), and lots of cash.

    So good stuff this year and I’m gonna stay inside for a long time… 

  23. PS3 with DC vs. Mortal Kombat, what a great game.

  24. My girlfriend is amazing.  She got me a $50 gift card to MidtownComics here in NYC, a Silver Age DC calendar, The Batman Black and White: Jim Aparo Statue,

  25. I put gift $$$ towards Asterios Polyp and some music (Nuggets: Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era box set), and got three trades from my dad using my Amazon wishlist (Hellboy: Darkness Calls, Sleeper Vol. 1, and The Nobody HC). No DVDs this year but I didn’t ask for any, either.

  26. I got that huge 12-foot Marvel wall chart. I’ve got no where to put it on an actual wall, but it is a pretty looking piece of geekiness – even with my 4-year-old nephew’s and my 2-year-old niece’s finger, hand and knee prints all over it.

    Also, to feed my other addiction, I got a 500-piece Pez puzzle that’s going to be a pain in the ass to put together.

    Ummm… does District 9 count? Also, got a DVD of short films from the NY Horror Festival (or whatever it’s called). Haven’t watched either yet, though.

    Biggest geek gift, though, was the new Dell desktop – this thing puts my now-retired PC to shame. Got a glorious 20" HD monitor and the first thing I did – watch the Miracleman and Green Lantern iFanboy videos. I COULD READ THE COMIC PANELS FROM ACROSS THE ROOM. 

  27. Fantastic one this year.  Asterios Polyp, Gotham Central V.2, Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and Locke & Key HC from my wife.  Modern Warfare 2 from various gift card contributions, and Batman No Man’s Land v.3 & Gotham Central v.1 with a Chapters gift card. Oh and some Microsoft point which went towards Abbey Road for Beatles Rockband.

  28. 26" Sony Bravia 720p HD TV, a DSi, Fight Club, Young Frankenstein, Star Trek, and a random DS game. Not close to bad at all.

    incognito

    punisher max hardcover 1-3

    umbrella academy dallas

    whedon xmen omnibus

    criminal deluxe edition

  31. I got the first season of Mad Men, first volume of Hellboy, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union by Michael Chabon, the 4th season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and
    6 CDs:

The Big Gift I got was The Batman LithographPin set it came from The Warner Bros. Store and it’s a Dick Sprang Lithograph and a pin set based upon his art! It’s awesome! It’s from 1999!

    I laughed my ass of so hard at that story because it is so incredibly silly

  35. The only comic book related items I got were Ultimate Alliance for the Wii and one of my friends got me the leatherbound "Marvel: The Characters and Their Universe" (http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Characters-Universe-Michael-Mallory/dp/B002TK5N6A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262036770&sr=8-3) which I was very suprised/happy to get!!

  42. first of all i have you all beat when it comes to lame presents. there is a long on-going joke between the siblings in my family that Mum has the absolute worst taste in gift buying.

    Lycra Bicycle Shorts – i don’t even own a bike and i would never wear a pair of these

    An Edward Cullen Decorative Pillow – Mum thought i would like this because it says "edward" on it. Imagine bringing a girl back to your room and there’s a friggen twilight pillow on your bed.

    10 Pairs of Underwear – I was exspecting a certain amount of undies for christmas as usual but this was a record amount.

    A Box Set of Batman and Batman Returns… on VHS – Not a bad gift but i have owned a video recorder for years.

    Shaving Cream – Every year, every year with the shaving cream.

    A Towel – fair enough

    A Series of Young Adult books about Vampires – I looked to see what age group these are for and i says 12 – 16; i’m 27.

    So did anybody get anything lamer than that?

  44. I got a chair.  For my computer desk.  I guess I’m going to get a lot of use out of it… I mean I’m using it right now, right?  But, it doesn’t exactly say "awesome". 

  45. I got a calendar featuring Golden age DC covers, published by Asgard Press. Each cover image sheet is perforated so they can be removed and framed, if desired. My favorite is from the 80 page Giant Superboy dated June 1968, because I remember buying that one!

    My wife pretty much rules.

     

  105. Geek related I got Modern Warfare 2 and  300$ to spend.

    Tomorrow I’m planning on going to my LCS and get something nice. I was thinking in maybe buying an omnibus or an absolute edition since the only "big format book" I have in my collection are Hellboy Library Edition 1 and Walking dead Book 1 and 2.

    Any ideas from the good people in Ifanboy? 

  106. I got great stuff this year: Asterios Polyp, Matt Kindnt’s Superspy, Bendis’ Goldfish, All Star Superman Vol. 1, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. 1 + 2, Ex Machina vol. 2-4, Queen and Country Definitive collection vol. 1, Fell vol. 1, Green Lantern Secret Origin, and I used some extra money I got to buy the Essex County Trilogy. Looking forward to reading them all.

     

  107. The only comics-related thing I got was a X-Men pop-up book (but it’s awesome!). Pretty much everything else I got is geek-related in some way. For videogames I got Assassin’s Creed 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, and I bought Modern Warfare 2 on Boxing Day.  Got a cool board game (kinda) about Newspaper headlines, got the movie Role Models, Shawshank Redemption and Pan’s Labyrinth. I got two books, one was called Day by Day Armageddon, and the other is Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide. Overall an awesome Christmas, and while there was no real comics stuff, I am really looking forward to diving into everything else. 

  108. @ radjack if your really looking to splurge the absolute sandmans are freaking beautiful, but at 100 bucks a pop I can’t bring myself to buy them, especially since the local library has them.

  109. I got Stargate SG1: Season 1 on DVD

    Dr. Grordbort PRESENTS Victory (http://www.wetanz.com/victory/)
    Dr. Grordbort’s: GOLIATHON 83 – MINIATURE VERSION (http://www.wetanz.com/goliathon-83-miniature-version/from/brand)
    Being in New Zealand, and seens as the creator lives and is from in New Zealand…. OBVIOUSLY I just poped round to his parents place in Whakatane on Boxing Day and had him sign the book and the box for the minature gun; he was even so polite as too comment positively on the personalized X-Box 360 t-shirt designs I created for his Brother, my sisters and mates, mentioning it so in the signature along with a sketch of Dr. Grordbort himself 😉

    Modern Warfare 2

    and some monetary items and vouchers

     

    Good Christmas all round 😀 

  110. @OttoBott I’m only 5 short chapters in on Yiddish Policemen’s Union since I got distracted by the Ellis book on Washington, but so far it feels like a an interesting detective novel, but also a character study and exploration of the setting Chabon created (Israel collapsed in 1948 and several million Jews relocated to Alaska). I’d recommend it, based on what I’ve read so far.

    If you haven’t read "Founding Brothers" by Ellis, I highly recommend it. The title sounds a bit sentimental, but it is one of the best books I’ve read in years.

  111. Punisher: Dark Reign, DD: Lady Bullseye, GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra (really good – good recommendation guys), and New Avengers: Search for the Sorcerer Supreme. 

     Pretty good.

  112. Comics: Astonishing x-men omnibus and Local.

    Games: Bioshock and God of War 1-2

    DVD: Inglourious Basterds.

  113. I got TDKReturns, secret warriors vol1 Chew vol1. (ps3) Tiger Woods 10, bioshock, burnout paradise and uncharted2. Also got Star Trek on DVD, asked for it on Bluray but what r u gonna do.

  114. I got Northlanders Vol 1 from the male parental unit; a DS Lite from "Santa",  and several games for it. I don’t know what my oldest sister got for me because we haven’t done xmas with her yet.
