Dear Hypers, I ask you to listen to this song, while you read this modest speech :

eight years ago our fathers brought forth on the internet, a new website, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men love comic books equally.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that website, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their time so that that website might provide news about comic books and movies. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, obsessed by comic books and arguments, who argued here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what a true comic book fan is able to do (which is mostly argue for several days about comic books). It is for us the geeks, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored comic book fans we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of their precious time -- that we here highly resolve that these fans shall not have waste their time in vain -- that this website, under the Goddamn Batman, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Hype.
This is the fight, I, Leo Ho Tep, shall lead, for all of you comic books fans. Because I will fight for your right to argue about everything, even if you don't have much to say. I will fight for this right, unlike the other fellas from the wildcard, because unlike them, I don't think of this
match as a farting contest. Thus why you should choose me.
