I know Mike stops in here periodically (DCIndexer), but I just saw this posted on his site...
..and I wanted to take a moment to express how much I have appreciated all his work and dedication to that site and how much it's very existence has made my life as a comic fan better for it. It's an invaluable resource, and I will miss his updates, but I understand there comes a time we all need to step back and do other things too. So thank you Mike and good luck with whatever you choose to do moving forward.

Happy New Year comics fans. 2017 will be an eventful year for Mike's Amazing World. This will be the 20th year for the website. It's been a long journey getting here from where it started in 1997 as just a list of comics that I wanted. The first major feature was a Flash index inspired by my love for the ICG indexes of the 1980s. Along the way came the Time Machine, now the Newsstand, a richer DC database, and coverage of other publishers. I've put tens of thousands of hours into making the site what it is. Pretty much averaging 40-50 hours a week on it for 20 years. It has been a lot of tireless work.
And this year, I will be stepping away. I've made the decision to retire from actively updating the site. I don't want to get into the specifics concerning my decision, just know that there are parts of this project that I will miss.
I'm considering a few options for the future of the site, but I have not yet decided what to do with it. A statement will be issued when plans are confirmed.
I hope everyone has a great year. Now go read some back issues.
