  1. A good example of the problems that can be created is this past week's Die!namite #4.  That issue (similar to other Dynamite and IDW comics) often have a cover gallery that will explicitly give a cover letter (Die!namite 4 lists "peanuts homage cover art" as cover H, but it wasn't listed in the database, and variant H was already used for one of the exclusives.  In that case, I'll list the letter from the cover gallery in the notes when I submit, and leave the variant letter alone.

    We don't want to force an issue number change at this point. The title/issues released years ago (2018 in this case); we fear it will adjust users database collections if we force such a change. Same can be said for MM & F #301/A

    I was afraid you'd say that, but I totally get it.  I'll change them in my copy of the data

  3. I propose that Donald Duck Adventures Take-Along Comic (Walt Disney’s…) FCBD 2003, FCBD 2003/A, FCBD 2003/B, and FCBD 2003/C should all be moved to Donald Duck—Free Comic Book Day (Walt Disney’s…).  They were originally there years ago, and I'm not clear why they were moved.

    From https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/TitleDetail.aspx?TitleID=15122&M=1 to https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/TitleDetail.aspx?TitleID=22726&M=1

  4. Before I submit these proposed changes, I'd like to get an ruling.  I've seen at least one title that consists of nothing but variants.  That is, all the issues are 1/A, 2/A, 3/A, etc. instead of 1, 2, 3, etc.  The title I saw most recently with this is IDW's Walt Disney's Comics and Stories (https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/TitleDetail.aspx?TitleID=59697&M=1).

     

    Mark Castaneda, any guidance on whether these should be converted from variants to regular issues?

    Thanks

  5. I was afraid of that, but thought I ask those wiser than I.

     

    Also, allow me to apologize for being unclear.  I didn't mean to imply/request access to the master database.  I'd long ago created a new database and have done nothing with it other than to apply the weekly updates; that way, the database mirrors the master without being an actual copy.   I was hoping there was some kind of database magic that could be used to compare the two, but it sounds like a resounding no, no way, better not post it! 😁

    I'll play around with some methods and see if anything works nicely.

     

    Thank you, kind sir.

  6. Hi, everyone,

    Back in the day, I used to use the Comixology pull list function to know what to expect in my LCS every weeuk until they killed it a few years ago.  After that, I used to parse Diamond's weekly lists, but now DC won't be part of it moving forward.

    Does anyone have any recommendations on a similar service?  I'm just looking for something that says "here's what to expect in your pull slot" each week, not something that does the actual ordering.  Two that I've found in a quick search are League of Comic Geeks and ComicList (which also has a similar Shipping Update last that Diamond does)

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Adam

  7. Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, but how can we compare against the Master Database (a Rebuild Lists option in CB2017)?  There have been times where titles and issues get moved around and the weekly update won't or can't make the change (so a manual correction is required).  For example, the changes in the last update for Batman vs. The Incredible Hulk.

    Any guidance would be appreciated, please and thank you.

    Adam

  8. ComicBase 2017 had an item in the Rebuild Lists options that was a way to see if there were titles and/or issues (I forget which) that weren't in the master database.  That seems to have gone away with CB2020.  I'd like to see it come back, so I can find those issues that may have been entered incorrectly or obsoleted (but won't "self-correct" because I have copies listed as owned).

  9. I think Ghostbusters (3rd Series) Annual 2020 and 2020/A should be removed in favor of Ghostbusters 20/20 1 and 1/A.  According to Diamond, the Ghostbusters 20/20 issues have the same street date as what the database lists for the annual issues.  I've updated and submitted the Ghostbusters 20/20 issues, but I'm not deleting the Annuals (since they'll just appear back with the next update)
