So good it hurts

It seems like today is TGC "Love Tom Spurgeon Day," and who can blame us? Especially when Tom writes excellent year-in-review pieces like this one?

Alan David Doane of Comic Book Galaxy (who's just joined the TGC team, natch!), put it best:

Tom's greatest strength as a writer -- and there are many -- is the way he makes the intersection of his life with reading comics so breezily personal. To read Tom's thoughts on comics is to feel that you've spent a few minutes chatting with an old friend about something you both love, and about which he just knows a whole hell of a lot about.

Couldn't agree with you more, Alan.
