While you're at it, these can also be moved to Books: The Marvel Art of Savage Sword of Conan The Marvel Art of Skottie Young The Marvel Art of Star Wars

Haunt of Horror (Digest) should be moved from Comics to Magazines. This title contained prose and some illustrations, but no comics.

I think that he is asking for a new media type of "other" so that his database can track things other than comics, books, or magazines.

The following titles are listed in the database as books but should be listed as comics: Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Season Three/Marvel's Agent Carter Season Two Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Season Two/Marvel's Agent Carter Season One Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Avengers Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Captain America: Civil War Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier/Marvel's Ant-Man Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Doctor Strange Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Incredible Hulk/Iron Man 2 Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Iron Man Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Iron Man 3/Marvel's Thor: The Dark World Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Marvel's Thor Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (a hardcover which collects a bunch of the above comics) All of them are basically OHOTMU for the early MCU films. No other changes for any of these (even if they have different punctuation than what I typed up above), just change their category to comics.

OK, I finally got these submitted. I got the complete list of variants from this link and used the images from there as well. Note that Sim's store site doesn't have an image for the lenticular cover, so I don't have an image for that one. I set the cover price for all of these at "0.00" b/c there is literally not a price printed on the covers, but I used the retail prices from Sim's site to figure out what to put into the "Price" field. Note also that there is apparently an "ashcan" variant (which ended up as "variant G" in my list), that isn't me trying to sneak in the Supplemental Book. Speaking of which, we still need to figure out what to do with the Supplemental Book. Here is what is in it: Page 1: b&w version of the cover Pages 2-13: all of the redrawn panels and isolated figures that Sim redrew for the remastered edition Pages 14-21 & inside back cover: preliminary and work-in-progress artwork for the covers of the original and remastered editions Pages 22-23: artwork for the trading cards that were produced as part of the Kickstarter campaign Page 24: artwork (looks like a preliminary study for one of panels in the comic) Back cover: "old style" Cerebus drawing advertising cerebusoverload.com site So how do we index the Supplemental Book?

Is there going to be a Livestream today (4/21)? I'm not seeing an announcement for it yet. I know that a new version (21.0.2) was just pushed out, and the last time we had a big update Pete wasn't available for a session that week. EDIT: I see that the Livestream announcement for today's session just got posted.

It looks to me as if Escape from Wonderland Cover Gallery might be a candidate to be moved from Books to Comics for the same reason. I don't own it, though, so I'm only 90% certain.

Haven't had a chance to make the actual submissions on this one yet. Hoping to get to that tomorrow.

Exotic Fantasy is listed in the database under "Books" rather than "Comics." This wouldn't necessarily be my personal choice, but I can understand that there is a rationale behind this since these issues are mostly sketches and pin-ups, and only a small amount of comics. However, the database lists the individual items under this title as TPB. These are definitely not trade paperbacks, the construction is very much stapled comic books. There is apparently "Comic Book" listed as a choice under the "Binding Type" pull-down menu, so I think that this would be a place to use that selection. This does open up a bigger issue: there are lots of comic books in the database that are just pin-ups and cover galleries (here are some examples). If Exotic Fantasy belongs in books, then so do all or most of the comics shown at the link. Is it HC's intention to move all of these out of the Comics category and into the Books category?

@Peter R. Bickford Hoping that you can explain what the deal is with the new European Super League. I don't follow football/soccer, so I have no context for why this is a big thing. About the most I can say is that I understand that this isn't a reference to the bwah-ha-ha Justice League Europe. 🤷‍♂️

Have you tried doing a "missing issue" report? If you check off the boxes for "titles in stock" and "missing issues", that should get you the info you want... *and* it can be saved to the web which will make it accessible to your ComicBase Mobile app.

Typically ComicBase will list collected editions under their own title if they include issues from multiple titles (even if those titles are only a single issue). Mark will make the final determination, of course, but it sounds to me like the book in question would be a candidate for its own, separate title based on past practice.

How much material from vol. 1 is contained in Book 1? Does it make more sense to spin out Book 1 into its own title if it contains material from three different database titles (vol 1, vol 2, and the cover gallery one-shot)?

Last Run, The: listed as Comic Book, should be moved to Book category. Gentleman's Game, A: listed as Comic Book should be moved to Book category. [Note that I just submitted the hardcover version of this as a book from my database, so what you'll really want to do is move this item into the new book title after you accept my submission. I am guessing that the $7.99 item already listed in the database is a MMPB rather than a TPB, but you might want to double-check that.] Surprisingly, Private Wars wasn't in the database so I submitted the data for the hardcover of that book. If anybody has the paperback, they should submit that data.

There is some clean-up necessary for Hellboy (Pocket Books). Pocket Books had nothing to do with items The Bones of Giants or The Lost Army. Dark Horse published those. Hellboy: Emerald Hell, Hellboy: The Fire Wolves, and Hellboy: The Ice Wolves were all prose novels in tpb format published by Dark Horse, yet they all have their own separate titles. Why do those books each get listed as separate titles but Bones of Giants and Lost Army get lumped into Pocket Books? Also, Lost Army was published years prior to Bones of Giants, yet Lost Army is listed as TPB #2 when it should be TPB #1. On Earth As It Is In Hell, Unnatural Selection, The God Machine, and The Dragon Pool (items #3 through #6 in the current Hellboy (Pocket Books) listing) were all published by Pocket Books, but they are mmpb, not tpb. EDITED TO ADD: BTW, none of these books are numbered in their indicia or on their spine.

Avengers Battle the Earth-Wrecker, The is listed as a tpb. It is a MMPB. Captain America: The Great Gold Steal is listed as a tpb. It is a MMPB.

The master database has two listings for Willie & Joe: Back Home: there is this listing (accompanied by a totally incorrect scan) and this listing (with the correct scan). A reminder that this title belongs in books, so whichever of those listings is not in that category should be deleted. And, depending on which listing is left, the scan might need to be corrected.

Pete mentioned this issue on the Livestream today. Turns out that this is a problem specific to the iOS version of the app and they are actively working on it.

Thanks, the report did show up!

I am trying to clean up the number of databases that are tracked by my Mobile app. I went to my profile on Comicbase.com and deleted all of the databases listed there. I then saved my main database to the cloud using Sidekick. Sidekick is set up to make automated reports (collection overview & collection report) when it saves to the cloud. I also sent a collection overview report manually to the web this morning. However, no reports show up in my profile. The mobile app recognizes the database and is able to tell me the total number of books, comics, and magazines, but it also states that no reports are available for the database. It is a big collection (well over 50K items in total), so possibly Jimmy "The Server" Gambino choked on it. Or has Jimmy decided to take a vacation day today?

The Prehistoric Times: listed as Comic Book, should be in the Magazine category. DC Calendar: listed as Comic Book, should be moved to Book category. Sandman, The: King of Dreams: listed as Comic Book, should be in the Book category. Conan Event, A: 1984 Calendar: listed as a Magazine, should be moved to Book category.

Any chance that we can add a field for Afterword in the Books category? I came across a book today with an Afterword, but there doesn't seem to be a field for that. (We already have fields in the "Creators" window for Introduction, Foreword, and Preface... so that would be a good place for "Afterword") Thanks!

This item is still hanging around. I have located my copy, and the following corrections should be made: 1. KEEP William Stout: Prehistoric Life Murals (that title matches the indicia). However, the item in the database is listed as a TPB. That is incorrect, the book is a hardcover. 2. DELETE Prehistoric Life Murals. This title does not match the indicia and is a duplication of William Stout: Prehistoric Life Murals.

The database lists an entry for TPB #1992 under the title Classic Comics Calendar. That item should actually be listed as Calendar #1992.

Somewhere along the line, Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites was deleted. As per my post above, Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites should be kept in the database. The Beasts of Burden: The Gathering Storm Book #1/HC should be deleted. (The book contains several stories in addition to "The Gathering Storm" *and* the book carries a different title on the cover and in the indicia -- "Animal Rites" -- and not the "Gathering Storm" title).
