Here’s wishing everyone a fun and safe holiday season! I hope you get all of the comics you can possibly hope for – and catalog them here of course! After 5+ years of being up and running, we at ComicBookDB.com are proud to have such great users and are looking forward to 2011!

Congratulations to JohnW!
We’ve partnered with SuperHeroStuff.com to bring you an awesome monthly contest! How do you win? Easy! The contributor who submits the most issue/story synopses during the month of September will win the grand prize! Please note that there are several rules which define what constitutes a valid entry.
Contest rules can be found at this link.
Don’t lose points because you forgot to read the rules!
If you have any questions about the contest or the rules governing the contest, please don’t hesitate to ask, either in the forums or using the contact form. The contest ends at the end of September. Good luck!
Also, don’t forget to follow us on Twitter so you can be up to date on other great offerings!
I’ve followed the herd and set up a Twitter account for the purposes of letting everyone know when we add new features or have specific news that it would be useful for you to know. Check it out at:

It’s finally here: mobile-friendly access to the site! We’re starting things off slowly, working on the collection/wishlist aspect of the site (the most requested when it comes to mobile access). Once I’m sure everything is looking good, I’ll be adding more features to the mobile site. Let me know how it looks and works for you and what you think!
Happy holidays to everyone from us at ComicBookDB.com. Just for a little fun, at DarthSkeptical’s suggestion, I’ve changed today’s issues on the front page for a holiday theme across the board. I hope you enjoy the selections!
That’s right, it’s the third anniversary of our beta launch back in 2005. So happy birthday to us! Year #3 was another great one for us as we expand both in data as well as users and popularity.
We’ve already got a bunch of great stuff planned for the next year and I can’t wait to roll it out for everyone to see. Thanks to everyone for all of the hard work!

I’ve mentioned it before, but I have to give huge thanks to Josh at Lost In Space Hosting. Whenever we run into issues, he’s right there to help us out and get everything squared away. If you’ve seen the major speed improvements in the last month, you know who is responsible. I recommend their services to anyone looking for a web host

Thanks to a sudden flurry of donations this past weekend, the fundraising drive has finished! Thank you SO much to everyone who donated to the site, it will always be greatly appreciated. I’ve placed the order for a new laptop and it couldn’t come at a better time – my current machine is about to die any day now. Again, thank you to everyone who contributed!
First off, I hope all of our American users had a happy Thanksgiving!
Second, an update to the fundraising efforts – after just two weeks, we’ve already raised 53% of our goal! This is fantastic! I really appreciate everyone’s help! If we can keep this rate up, the begging can stop and I can get back to adding more great stuff
Third, as an added bonus for our wonderful donors, I will be killing the “ComicBookDB.com Needs Your Help!” banner if you have donated. You don’t need to see that anymore 
Fourth, we’ve got some fairly significant additions to the site coming in soon, possibly as soon as this weekend. So keep any eye on the forums for more news!
