It seemed like not that long ago that the holiday season was on the distant horizon, affording plenty of time to settle on the perfect gifts for friends, family and co-workers, and, more importantly, to purchase them. But here we are, with the holidays upon us (happy Hanukkah!) with little to no time remaining to make that shopping list, let alone to check it twice.

But don't panic; just breathe. CBR has some ideas for the perfect gifts for the geekier people in your life, no matter what their ages. A fan of Star Wars or The Walking Dead? We've got you covered. Comic book devotees? That, too. There's even a little something for gamers and would-be Pokemon trainers.

For Fans of The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead Rick Grimes 15th-anniversary box set

The Walking Dead Rick Grimes 15th-anniversary box set: Rick Grimes may have left AMC's The Walking Dead for parts unknown, and for a series of television movies, but in the comic books that started this pop-culture phenomenon in 2003, he's still very much part of the action. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of The Walking Dead, McFarlane Toys have teamed with Skybound Entertainment to release a limited-edition set of four figures that trace Rick's journey, from Sheriff Rick and a repainted "All Out War" Rick to a repaint of "A New Beginning Rick" and "Negan Rick," from artist Charlie Adlard's variant cover for Issue 163. There's also a "bloody variant" edition. (Price: $70)

Walking Dead wine

The Walking Dead Wine: If the tastes of The Walking Dead fan in your life don't lean toward collectible figures, then how about a little wine to welcome the zombie apocalypse? Produced by the appropriately titled The Last Wine Company, The Walking Dead Wine comes in four varieties: Blood Red Blend, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and cabernet cauvignon. (Price: $18.99 per bottle)

For Comic Book Fans

comixology unlimited

ComiXology Unlimited subscription: While a lot of traditional comic book fans prefer the printed word, for those on the go, it's difficult to beat comiXology, the industry's premier digital service. For a monthly fee, comiXology Unlimited provides access to more than 15,000 comic books and graphic novels, from such top publishers as Marvel, Image Comics, Dark Horse, Oni Press and IDW, as well as original titles and manga. (Price: $5.99 per month)

DC Universe

DC Universe subscription: The recently launched branded streaming service, DC Universe is marketed as "the Ultimate DC Membership," and it's difficult to argue with that. In addition to the much-discussed Titans live-action series, and the upcoming revival of the animated Young Justice, and a full 2019 slate of new, original content, the platform boasts such classics as Batman: The Animated Series, Super Friends, the 1970s Wonder Woman series, Superman: The Movie and Superman II. But there's also a comic book component, with rotating, curated collections (for the launch of Titans, the focus was on the New Teen Titans; now, it's Aquaman, Hawk & Dove, and just in time for winter, icy villains like Mister Freeze, Captain Cold and Killer Frost). (Price: $7.99 per month, or $74.99 per year)

Marvelocity

Marvelocity: The Marvel Comics Art of Alex Ross: In the tradition of the celebrated 2003 collection Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross, this 312-page book reunites the artist with Chip Kidd for a retrospective of Ross' Marvel Comics work. Spanning iconic characters ranging from Captain America and Iron Man to the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, Marvelocity contains hundreds hundreds of Ross' paintings, drawings and photographs, including some that have never been seen before -- notably, a 10-page story that pits Spider-Man against the Sinister Six, and redesign proposals for the Fantastic Four and the X-Men. (Price: $31.45 to $42, depending upon the retailer)

DC Comics: Anatomy of a Metahuman

DC Comics: Anatomy of a Metahuman: Undoubtedly one of the more novel comics-related books in recent memory, DC Comics: Anatomy of a Metahuman pulls back the layers (literally) on the heroes and villains of the DC Universe. Framed as Batman's own analysis of the physiologies and abilities of his greatest foes, and closest friends, it's effectively those XXRay dissected collectible figures given book form. Written by S.D. Perry and Matthew Manning, and illustrated by comics artist Ming Doyle, DC Comics: Anatomy of a Metahuman is a little gruesome, sure, but that's part of the appeal. (Price: varies from $33.44 to $40, depending upon the retailer)

Deadpool truck taco holder

Marvel Deadpool Truck Taco Holder: With the blockbuster success of the two Fox films, and an X-Force spinoff on the horizon, Deadpool has been propelled to global stardom. But for the perfect gift for fans of Marvel's Merc with a Mouth, we go back to the character's comic book roots, and to his legendary love of tacos. Emblazoned with images of Wade Wilson, and his instantly recognizable logo, this truck-shaped taco holder is both practical and a conversation-starter, and it won't push the limits of your gift budget. (Price: $22.90)

The Electric State: While not a comic book, or technically even comic book-related, The Electric State, by author and concept designer Simon Stalenhag, certainly deserves a place in this holiday guide. Published by Skybound Books, it's the gorgeously illustrated story of a teen runaway who sets off with her robot on a journey across an alternate version of the American West. It's a 1990s wasteland, dotted by old assault ships, four-legged service robots, and looming neurograph towers. (Price: $35)

For Star Wars Fans

Boba Fett Hot Toys figure

Boba Fett (Animation Version) collectible figure: Star Wars fans worth their salt will gleefully inform anyone who listens that Boba Fett, the most notorious bounty hunter in the galaxy, didn't debut in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back. Instead, he was introduced two years earlier, in animated form, on the widely mocked Star Wars Holiday Special. Hot Toys commemorates that first appearance with a 1/6th-scale collectible figure that captures the Mandalorian in his original look from the 1978 television special. Highly detailed, as we've come to expect from Hot Toys releases, this Boba Fett comes with interchangeable gloved hands, an electropole and blaster, a jetpack and display stand. (Price $235)

Star Wars Celebration

Star Wars Celebration Chicago tickets: Comic-Con International for Star Wars devotees, the not-quite-annual event is the official epicenter of anything and everything involving the galaxy far, far away. The next edition will be held April 11-15, 2019, in Chicago, which no doubt means there will be big reveals about Star Wars: Episode IX, which will conclude the Skywalker Saga that began in 1977, and the upcoming Disney+ series The Mandalorian, for starters. Although there's still more than 125 days until the event, tickets are selling out quickly, with only April 14 and April 15 remaining, so if you want to surprise that Star Wars fan, you'll have to act fast. (Price: $75 per ticket, per day.)

Now this new book, authorized by Lucasfilm, celebrates those female characters, with profiles written by Amy Ratcliffe, and illustrations by such artists as Annie Wu, Alice X. Zhang, Eli Baumgartner and Little Corvus. (Price: $29.25)

For the Kids

Transformers BotBots

Transformers BotBots: If you're a parent of a younger child, there's a good chance you're familiar with Shopkins, collectible mini-figures that are basically anthropomorphic food, jewelry, shoes or other items you'd buy on a typical trip to Target or Walmart. They've been insanely popular for years, so it's not really a surprise to see Hasbro launching its own take on the concept, but with a Transformers twist. The BotBots are a collectible line of ultra-mini figures, tiny robots that were created when a blast of Energon hit a shopping mall, turning everyday items into Transformers. And, yes, they do transform from their base objects (scissors, ice cream cones, toilets, etc.) into tiny, posable robots. The first wave is available in $9.99 multi-packs (four visible bots, and one mystery figure), as well as $2.99 single-bot blind boxes. Two more waves are scheduled to hit in 2019, with nearly 200 individual BotBot designs planned by the end of the line's first year. (Price: $2.99 to $9.99)
