Happy New Year! Chris, Tom and Mike Norton ring in the new year at Challengers Comics on a very chilly and hungover day. It's a new year and a new decade, so the panel takes the opportunity to look back at how comics and the comics industry has changed during The Aughts. Chris spent New Years Eve with piles of trades. Tom wants less old book, so he gives away huge bag of Legion comics. Mike liked being in charge of Challengers and stumping customers with Blue Beetle trivia.

Happy New Year!
