Robot 6′s fourth-anniversary celebration round-up

Remember when I said we had so many previews, announcements, interviews and special features that it would take us two days to celebrate ROBOT 6′s fourth anniversary? It turns out I may have underestimated things. Just a little. So throughout the day, alongside our regular content, we’ll be showcasing more previews, as well as a couple of more features (including our contributors’ picks of their favorite comics of 2012).

In the meantime, below you’ll find a rundown of everything we rolled out on Monday and Tuesday. Thanks once again to all the creators, publishers and publicity managers for helping us celebrate, and to all of the ROBOT 6 contributors for all of their hard work for our anniversary and throughout the year. And, especially, thank you to our readers.

(Note: This list has been updated to reflect today’s final anniversary posts.)
