Time to get back to work. Put away the eggnog, the sugarplums, the candy canes, roasted duck, Anchor Christmas beer, cranberry cider and so on. We are back on the path of righteousness.

In wrapping up 2007 (which we haven’t really done yet) we forgot to thank the people who really count: Ben, Trish, Zena, Suzu, Sharon, Dino, Sara, Elim, Amy, Frank 3, Douglas, Jah Furry, Jimmy, Amanda, Eric, Calvin, Mark and, really, a cast of dozens, or perhaps thousands, without whom we couldn’t blog every day. Or at least wouldn’t have as much fun doing it.

We always think we want to shake this up here, but everything we plan gets swept away by the tide of events. For instance, we wanted to start doing reviews, but after reading just two books we had such harsh things to say about former pals that we had to warn them first. But that doesn’t make any sense either. So…we have to ease into it, or something.

We would like to include more original content here — and especially art. Please shoot us your promos and news items. They can even be about you.

We had toyed with the idea of saying something about the comment threads here. Folks, this is not the boards at Newsarama! Please, THINK before you post. And no rumors or gossip in the comments! We will never eliminate the comments as so much additional information is revealed there in, but post with your head, not over it.

Thanks once again for your continued support and encouragement. It means more than we can ever say. Really.

  1. I heard a rumour Heidi McDonald will take over DC and Marvel and force the old geeks to finally get rid of all the dead girlfriends from the freezers :-)

    She will also have Peter Parker be re-written as a gay yaoi character.

    HAHAHAHAHA.

    Sorry, Heidi, couldn’t resist

  2. What if you ONLY reviewed mini-comics? That would be awesome… for something so big to only do reviews of the very smallest… it brings tears to my eyes. You could have an “only if it’s published with a Xerox machine” rule.
    My heart is fluttering.

  3. Many thanks for the continued information/entertainment/cryptozoological critters offered up on a daily basis here at The Beat, Heidi. Looking forward to another 366 days of it (remember, Leap Year this year.)

    And Peter Parker yaoi would almost make more sense than OMD.

    Hee hee hee. I’d definitely pick that up at my local comic shop.
