Holiday Gift Guide 2016: Gifts for the Studio Ghibli Lover
They’ve watched the films multiple times. They get excited at the mention of cats, umbrellas, and planes. They are actively saving up for a trip to Japan. They’ll debate with you over the pronunciation of Ghibli. All of these are signs that you know a Studio Ghibli lover, so why not get them a gift that they will love as much as Ponyo loves ham?
Holiday Gift Guide 2016: Comic Book Collections Part 1
We’re in the early days of the 2016 edition of Biff Bam Pop’s annual Gift Guide, and already we’ve seen so many cool choices for the pop culture lover in your life!

You know, for those that you really, really love. And have a budget (or a strong enough gift bag) to shoulder it.
In every case, happy holidays… here begins the comic book gift of reading that you should be giving this season!
Top 9 BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Easter Egg Wants
With the highly anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film only ten days away from release, we here at Biff Bam Pop! thought it was high time to ask some of our most interested (and often affected) DC Universe enthusiasts what they might want to see as Easter Eggs in the film.
You know. Easter Eggs: those hidden gems of story or nods to characters, situations, etc., from the winding canon of comic book history that only the most hard-core of hard-core fans would ever recognize – and probably appreciate.
We know that the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film will be the hoped-for inciting point for everything that will come afterwards in the DC Cinematic Universe. Can the filmmakers make links to what comes next in an altogether intuitive, interesting and non-obtrusive way?
Here, then, are 9 Eater Eggs that three Biff Bam Pop writers want to see in the blockbuster film. Give them a read, and then tell us what yours might be, fan-boy and fan-girl!
Saving Solanda – The New Novel from Marie Gilbert
You see the work of Marie Gilbert here at Biff Bam Pop! every week. Our Steampunk Granny, zombie expert, and senior writer regularly reviews the cool stuff here, episode by episode recaps of “The Walking Dead,” “Defiance,” “Orphan Black,” among others, and soon “Fear the Walking Dead.” Her interviews and ghost investigations are always top notch. Marie rocks, and we love her, but now we have an extra special reason to be proud of her – she’s not just a published author, but this past week she has released her second novel, the next in the Roof Oasis series. Meet me after the jump and I’ll tell you all about Saving Solanda.

Ward Anderson’s I’ll Be Here All Week
Not often do I find a book that grabs me, pulls me in, and entertains me for the entire length I read. It is even more rare that I find a book that I will find hard to put down and read straight through. I’ll Be Here All Week by Ward Anderson, a look into the world of stand up comedy, is one of those books – funny, entertaining, honest, dark, and fun. Check out my review after the jump.
