A Comic Christmas Wish List

2008 has been a great year for comic fans. We had a record summer for Marvel and DC movies, starting with Iron Man, then on to Hellboy II, The Incredible Hulk, and ending with The Dark Knight as an amazing grand finale. As of this past Tuesday, all four movies are now available on DVD—what a great ending to the year.

So, aside from the DVDs, what else is available for the comic fans on your Christmas list? Here are some of my favorites:

Hulk Smash Hands. Who can resist large, green foam boxing gloves that roar and yell “Hulk! Smash!” and “You’re making me angry!” on impact? I have to admit I’ve already tried them out and thoroughly enjoyed punching my fiancé and yelling “Hulk Smash!” in the middle of Wal-Mart.

You might want to complete the ensemble with a Hulk Mask. Who can resist a mask with glowing eyes? And an adjustable strap for comfort to boot.

Big Baby Keychain. I was hoping to find a full-size replica of Hellboy’s new weapon of choice, but this little one is pretty cute.

Iron Man N.R.F 425 Blaster. Comes with 10 repulsor darts for air-powered, dart-blasting action!

Batman Costume. I don’t care what Edna ‘E’ Mode (The Incredibles) says. Capes are a must.

Well, I think that about rounds off my list. Admittedly, it leans heavily towards the immature, but I’d be pretty excited if I found any of these items under my Christmas tree!
