Every month, there is a wealth of new comics and comics-related product that hits our local comic book shops. While some of us may be able to afford to buy everything we see, the rest of us need to be a little more careful with what we spend our money on - especially in the modern economy and with the price of comics rising seemingly month after month. That's why CraveOnline has the Monthly Comics Guide, to help our readers gauge just where their money might be headed in the coming month. This is it folks, you are down to the wire. If you haven't started your holiday shopping yet, fear not! I have cometh to provide you with everything a comic nerd would like for Christmas. Surprisingly, December is a pretty light month.
What is worth checking out? What will give you the most bang for your buck? We've compiled various different sections that should pander to whatever type of reader you may be.

At long last, the 10 issue limited series from brothers Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon kicks off this month! I feel like I've been waiting impatiently for a lifetime, but no longer. Following an obituary writer struggling to climb out of his famous father's shadow, Daytripper is poised to be a a stunning portrait at the "smaller" moments in our lives. And don't forget, it's Gabriel effing Ba and Fabio-GD-Moon. Daytripper #1 hits stands December 9.

It's an understatement to say that I was blown away by how much I didn't loathe the debut issue of this series (read our review of Victorian Undead #1). For realz, I fully expected yet another zombie book on the market to cause me eyes to roll back in my head and urinate in my pants our of sheer boredom. Instead, I found that the famous Sherlock Holmes mantra "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth" is so obviously talking about the undead, and couldn't believe that this pairing hadn't been made before. With that said, I'm pretty pumped for issue #2, on shelves December 23.
