Holiday Toy Drives
Hey, I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone that graphic novels and comicbook trade paperbacks make excellent donations to holiday toy drives. Not only do comics encourage an interest in reading and improve literacy, some comics, like Marvel Adventures: Avengers are totally relevant to this community and just all-around good stories.
Teen-aimed comics, like Young Avengers are also great donations, especially because toy drives often don't receive many donations appropriate for older children and teenagers.
If you know of any great comics you'd like to recommend as donations to toy drives, list them in the comments!

Marvel Adventures: Avengers (http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Adventures-The-Avengers-Vol/dp/0785123067) and Young Avengers (2006) (http://www.amazon.com/Young-Avengers-Vol-1-Sidekicks/dp/0785120181/), obviously, as they both are fun stories and have Steve/Tony moments.
Runaways (http://www.amazon.com/Runaways-Pride-Joy-Digest-New/dp/0785157328) is a great gateway drug into the Marvel universe. The first volume is an especially good page-turner.
Bone (http://www.amazon.com/BONE-1-Boneville-Jeff-Smith/dp/0439706408) for something completely different, an often goofy, often scary fantasy epic for younger readers. Bonus: one of the focal points of the story is a complex relationship between a girl and her grandmother.
