Guess i gotta read Seconds.

I was very happy to hear that Ms Marvel won Best Story and Best New Series, and G Willow Wilson won Breaktrough Artist, and i also agree with the winners for Best Publisher and Best Web series.

Sure, i could complain about the stuff that didn't won or didn't get nominated(i already complained enough about Southern Bastards in other threads

), but i think that overall you guys did a pretty good job, it couldn't have been easy.And other than Seconds i will also check out some other stuff that won or got nominated, so thanks for that!

Keep up the good work in 2015, guys!

Great wrap up episode to the best of's.

I have to comment on this tho, the portion where you guys clearly have had a couple shots...... it was FANTASTIC! It was just funny to hear you guys a little loose lol.

My favorite part is where Steve noticed bobby make a funny face, i couldnt stop laughing at steves reaction lol

YO! Comic Books!

Joe,

Thanks a lot!

IDW's work at bringing comics history to light is near to my aging heart, so that they finished ahead of the Big Two was pretty cool!

Dave,

Thanks a bunch! There's stuff on the lists for every taste, in many genres and with many tones, too!

You're right in thinking that it wasn't easy; what might have been harder was that seemingly every book we discussed in side-bar conversations that then "didn't make the cut" were the same ones that all of you out there were asking about!

Jonathan,

Thankfully, Bobby didn't break out the good stuff until after the math portion of the show--I'd hate to have to take back someone's award due to some inebriated algebra!

Having witnessed Bob drink, I'm more than confident he could handle some numbers after a few!

Why, thanks Huw, that's very nice!

On the night in question, I hadn't anything to eat before recording began, so it might have gotten dicey if we had continued on imbibing!

Ha ha ha! I wish I could have taken more than just a mental picture of that face. It was so perfect! I'm so glad you enjoyed the Awards show. Cheers!

Spiral out and keep going ...

Glad to hear it. I mentioned them on a thread of Steve's but I may have been preaching to the converted.
