Thanks for coming back to Broctser Comics today for the big news. Looking back through all of the posts from last year I noticed that this site focused primarily on four unique themes. They were comic books, action figures, wrestling, and personal stuff. These themes are not really that closely related to one another except for maybe action figures and comic books, but even that isn’t always the case.
Today that is all going to change. From this day forward, every post on Brocster Comics is going to be comic book related! That is the bottom line, no exceptions. This may come to a shock to some of you, but there will be no more mention of my personal life, toys, or even wrestling on this site. There’s only going to be comics.
Now I know some of you, probably most of you reading this could care less what I have to say about comic books. That is cool! You don’t have to like comic books. There are enough other people out there who do. Almost all of my link backs have come from comic book sites and publishers. That is the best way to build credibility in this area of the internet.
We all know about Next Wrestling. That was a site Che and I started up in 2009, but neither one of us put too much into it. With the Road to WrestleMania currently in full stride, that site may actually be something worth looking at again. You can expect to see more going on there this year. Again this site will follow a theme. Only wrestling related content will be seen on Next Wrestling.
Another key topic of the blog last year was action figures. 3.75” action figures to be more precise. I know I am probably way too old to care about toys anymore, but I still do. Who cares? A lot of people do in fact, and most of them are even older than I am. That is why I am happy to announce that a new brand has been added to the Brocster family. It is called One Per Case. One Per Case will be all about toys.
Okay, that took care of all the themed topics of the former site. Now let’s look at the real news of the day. Brocster.com is coming back! The great divide has finally happened. Brocster Comics and Brocster.com are two different things altogether.
Those of you who enjoy the goofy videos, random rants about the weather, and reading about what I had for dinner are in luck. Brocster.com will be my place to talk about whatever is on my mind. I am sure there will be plenty of ranting and raving going on, and who knows what else. That site could actually be quite frightening.
That is a grand total of four blogs on this network. This is going to be a lot of work, but I am sure with this kind of organization things will be worth the effort. Now I just have to figure out what to do with all the stuff already on this blog. Should I move it to the blog it should go on, or keep it all intact for history’s sake? That is something I am going to have to think about. Again, your feedback is always appreciated.

I promised a lot of changes to Brocster Comics in 2010 and now two months into the year they are about to begin. A lot of research has been conducted and a few conclusions have been made about the present state of Brocster Comics. Here they are.
- This site has absolutely no structure or theme whatsoever. That may be okay for a fun blog that is viewed by my friends, but after all the work I have put into this thing, I am expecting more than that.
- I hit a dry spell in the middle of the summer and I never recovered from it. If you don’t believe me, go back and look at the posts. They were actually quite good there for a while. Then I guess I got a bad case of writers block or something.
- Finally, if this site is to be taken to the next level, things need to change, and they need to change quickly. I wouldn’t even want to read this blog and I write it.
With these things said, major changes are on the horizon for Brocster Comics. Some of you will love the changes. Others may hate them, but after a lot of thought, it is something I feel needs to be done as we move forward in the new year.
For the big announcement come back to the site tomorrow at 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time for all the information. This is the biggest step I have made since starting this blogging adventure. I just hope that it is a step in the right direction.

Hello everyone! Plans for the new Brocster.com are already beginning. One of the first things I have done is create a Facebook Fan Page for myself. I know what an egomaniac! You can find the page by clicking here. The reason for the page is to provide some more interaction that is site related. The goal was to keep that separate from my personal Facebook page. That way I am more likely to see what is going on without having to scroll through numerous Bejeweled and Mafia Wars updates.
If you haven’t already done so, go ahead and sign up for the Brocster Fan Page at Facebook. Once I get a few more people on there I am going to start some discussion onto what many of you would like to see on this site in the following year. It should be fun. Who knows, there may even be a surprise in store real soon.

Today is the day where I get to tell all of the naysayers, “I told you so.” There were a lot of people who thought I would never be able to pull off doing the daily blog thing and I did it! Now I will admit, not all of them were good. In all actuality most of them were really quite bad. You could even say a lot of them were down right terrible, but I guess that is what you can expect when you do this every day. There are bound to be more bad blogs than good blogs. Either way, there were some fun times along throughout this past year when it came to this blog. I have to admit, it was kind of fun yet troublesome at times.
There were a few times when I was just getting ready to lay down and go to sleep when I suddenly realized that I hadn’t blogged yet that day. Then I would have to get up and type something up real quick before going back to bed. That only happened a couple of times. I wish I remembered which ones those were because I can probably relive the whole thing in my head and piece together why that blog was so bad. Some blog posts were planned days in advance. That was how most of the early ones came to be. You will notice that those ones are a lot better than the posts to come later in the year.
All in all, I think it was a good little experiment to try and do a daily blog. If push came to shove, I would probably try doing it all over again. The main thing I would change, is trying and stick with a theme. While this blog tried to stay up to date with comic books, it was very easy to fall behind when I had little time to get any reading done. If it is not up to the minute, people just don’t care.
In conclusion, thanks to all of you who made Brocster Comics a part of your daily routine. Knowing that there were three or four people out there to look forward to reading this crap each day made it worth typing these things. I hope you had a few laughs along the way. There are some cool things planned for 2010. I hope you all stick around for the ride. I promise only good things will happen.
