Yep, so it’s come to this…SIX years of Comics Should Be Good! Six years ago today this little ol’ blog was started up by Alex, Joe, two Pauls, Tadhg and myself (with a super cool name picked out by Joe). Thanks guys, for starting this place up with me! We’ve come a long way from being a blog just devoted to Joe Rice’s hatred of the Irish!

Thanks to all of our regular folks – our two Gregs (Burgas and Hatcher), Brad Curran, Bill Reed, MarkAndrew, Danielle Leigh, Scott, Chad Nevett, Kelly Thompson and out latest contributor, Sonia Harris!

Plus, semi-frequent reviews from Michelle and Melinda!

Not to mention contributions from Alex, Joe, Paul Teel, Pol, Paul McEnery, Tadhg, Tom, Chad, Christopher, Harvey and Marionette.

Plus, of course, the features we host here (or have hosted), like Sean and Brandon’s Comic Critics, Kelly, Sue and Maddy’s 3 Chicks Review Comics podcast, Dean Trippe’s The Good Stuff, John Seavey’s Storytelling Engines, Kethylia’s Manga Mondays and Lorendiac’s Lists.

Thanks to Jonah for hosting the blog at Comic Book Resources and to Stephen for keeping everything running smoothly!

Thanks, also, to all those folks who come by to read our ramblings!

Thanks to the sites that link to us.

Oh, thanks to those folks who bought my book!

And thanks to anyone else that I forgot to thank!

These past six years have been a blast, and I hope…okay, I’m pretty darn certain that the fun will not stop any time soon.

Reffing Paul Simon instead of Bob Dylan? Bold.

Congrats, guys!

To be my anal retentive self, it’s amusing that you list 3 people after saying “our 2 newest contributors”. But Chad, Kelly, and Sonia are the newest people here? Man, it seems they’ve been on forever. My memory’s going, I must be old.

Wow, you scared me at first, the tone of this post almost sounded like you were going to shut it down. This is my favourite blog since the Ninth Art website (which wasn’t a blog, but… yeah).

Here’s to six…ty more years!
