And thanks to you (and all other you mentioned), it’s always really fun to visit the site with all spec news (not least on wednedays) and exciting to see if one have won a nice issue (maybe I will for the first during 2016 for the first time, I think I will :-D)
Salute..Thank you all the readers of CHU,And thank you to Tony for giving me the opportunity to write for his site… I have some new stuff in store for 2016 ..including a new and revamped Risk and Reward
No THANK YOU TONY!!!
152 different countries, now that’s impressive !
Thank you Tony for allowing us to visit and a part of your site. I know for a fact that my comic collection wouldn’t be as be or as crazy if it wasn’t for the indies and the new books you recommend for us to read. Thank you and thanks to all the CHU readers……..
*Be as big
Great site! Keep up the good work and have a happy New Year!
Thanks for all that you and the other contributors do! This has become one of my most visited sites.
Thanks for all the research and info ! You’ve even outscooped BleedingCool on a few occasions.
And have been copies by them a few times as well.

trueeeee
Someone needs to make a goal next year of topping me in comments… 😉
Poyo, I don’t think it is possible. You have been the belt holder for two years now. (And undisputed champion)
Where’s my trophy?
It’s in the mail.
Woohoo!
Of course the numbers are no longer valid now as all numbers were as of 3 AM last night.
I only have 1750 more posts to go to catch you! I consider it a dare.
Tony,
back in October of 2014, I was a hopelessly lost drunk a$$hole. I found my old dusty Star Wars comics and decided to get my hands on my long coveted Dark Empire Platinum embossed editions. I quickly found that Wolverine was “dying” in the Marvel universe and also found out that it was too hard to read a comic while drunk.
I wrote a letter to my wife promising to remain sober, read Bob Layton’s Iron Man Demon in a Bottle and began writing pieces for comicsheatingup.net.
I am now a moderately successful first-year attorney and have a clear head every day.
I’m not knocking anybody who enjoys a drink, it just wasn’t for me. What I am saying is thank you. Thank you for being part of my recovery.
CBCS has graded my authenticated signature series Bob Layton Iron Man #128 at a 7.5, it’s shipping back, I’ve been sober for a year and almost three months, and I’m happier than ever.
So thank all of you. Thank you for giving me a place of distraction, a new obsession for my wild mind.
This site truly means more to me than you thought or knew.
DrunkWooky out.
Congrats on the sobriety. I quit smoking 3 1/2 years ago (I was never a heavy chain smoker), never felt better myself. Now I enjoy me a drink every so often (I’m a beer guy) but unless I’m doing yard work (nothing beats a cold beer after mowing the yard in this dreaded 100+ degree heat in central Texas), a 6 pack can last me 2-4 weeks in some instances.
Lol. I bought a 12 pack of beer for a poker tourney back in July and still have 9. My dad had drinking problems and it runs in the family so I have always been careful. I do enjoy a tall frosty one now and again but rarely drink any more. I quit smoking 5 years ago. Sadly, and those who have been around me at cons, know I still have one more gross vice left over from college I can’t shake. We can’t all be perfect but I accept it.
Wow man. Wooky and I have talked a ton of times but this is the first I have heard this. I am glad to have you on board and glad to offer you a distraction. Thanks for all your hard work this year both outside and inside the site. Yes, DrunkWooky is actually DrunkWooky attorney at law (I did know that part)
Thanks to you, Tony, as well as the readers and contributors — see you next year, everyone! Have a safe and Happy New Year’s eve!
Thanks Tony and the other contributors as well.
Let’s all have a great 2016!
Here is to a safe and healthy 2016!
Maybe this will be the year Tony shares a drink with me in good ole Chitown!!!
Go BUCKEYES!
GO BIG!
Trying to make that happen in 2016. Want to come out to Chicago for a con this year.
I made the top 5!! Wooo! Uh…Please don’t let my job know that i’m commenting here instead of working. Thanks for the site Tony!
No worries as long as you don’t let my work know I am doing the site.
You’re secrets safe with me!
or…”your” secret. Work got in the way of that last post obviously.
lol i do more comic research at work than i do at home lol
Thanks for the site, Tony! Used to be my go-to comic site, now it’s just my go-to web page, period! Thanks also to the CHU contribution crew! I LOVE reading all your posts and predictions. Keep up the good work, boys! Happy New Year! Brett
Thanks Brett. Glad to have you hear.
I love the work you guys do and it’s my must stop every day. I wish everyone a very healthy 2016. Happy New Year and many success!!!
Top 5? Woot! Love this site. I’ve been on CBSI quite a bit, but this is like my first love. Thanks for everything you do Tony. And everyone else that jumps in on this site and gives good spec. We are a fast growing community and I’m loving every minute of it.
Those numbers are amazing! Thanks for all you do, 2016 will be a great year!
Thanks Louie for everything.
Have enjoyed the site for over a year now! Happy new year!
To you too oc. Glad you are here.
Thank you
Congrats on another successful year and such a wonderful site and always a pleasure to work with you !
Thanks Terry. Glad to have you as a friend. Happy new year.
And thank you for giving us a reason to visit the site!!!
After a six-year absence, I started buying comics again in May/June of this year. I decided I was going to try my hand more on the spec side of things and so I started visiting any online spec site I could find. This site was one.
Now, all these months later, and this site is one of two that I only visit regularly anymore (CBSI being the other). I like your site, it’s got good content and a good read. You don’t seem to have an agenda, just a general enthusiasm for comics and related stuff.
Keep up the good work.
Yeah, I really do not have an agenda. Just like to buy, sell, and read comics, the extra money on the side from selling is great, have been here for three years now and have no plans to stop
THANKS Tony!
Thank you Al! Happy new year.
Hopefully your numbers are even better next year, I know I’ll be here. This is one of my favorite sites.
Thanks man! It will be hard to beat last year but with more contributors and some awesome ideas we will try to continue to grow.
