This series is one that I'd hoped to kick off many months ago, but I just haven't had the time to do it justice, until now.

The company is Marvel. The character is Sergei Kravinov also known as 'Kraven the Hunter.'

Merry Christmas, season's greetings, Nanoo Nanoo and so forth.

Being Christmas, I figured it'd be a good time to thank some people for making our site rock. Let's do it:

Thank you to all the Buttonhole staff for being the best team anyone could wish for and our forum members for being awesome.

Thanks to all of our supporters, especially the following (in no particular order): Shock, Madman/AV Channel, THQ, Activision, Ubisoft, Pulse/Microsoft, Atari, Vivendi Universal, EA and Realgamer.

I'd also like to thank these guys and girls- Ben Pollock. Cam Shea, Daniel Wilks, James Blashfield and the other guys from Hyper magazine. Kirsteene Lurhman. Scott Tipton. Mark Prebble. Aaron Cameron. And all the other individuals who went out of their way to help us out during our first year.

Last but not least, of course, thanks to all of our readers for helping make Buttonhole such a groovy place to be. From myself and everyone at the site; we hope you have a great time during the holiday season. If you have anything you want to say, I am just an email away. You're welcome to come here as often as you like and feel free to bring your friends.

Oh, congratulations to Mugwai and Miss for their new baby boy! I'll try to get a couple of shots of the proud parents and their bubby Declan to post on the site soon.
