This week's update added the comic title See You in My 19Th Life. Should that actually be listed as See You in My 19th Life ?

PS I don't have Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War—Scorched Earth in my database.
That title was deleted in this week's content update as it was replaced by the correctly punctuated Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War: Scorched Earth.

Also added was the comic title Marvel Beginnings: I Love You 3,000. This title, along with Marvel Beginnings: Spider-Man's Spooky Halloween, are board books. I am having difficulty in locating scans or pictures of the interior, but I am suspicious that neither of these Marvel Beginnings books are actually comics. Can anybody verify whether these belong in the Comics category or should be moved to the Books category?

Those comics fall under the title Mutant Misadventures of Cloak & Dagger. The "Mutant Misadventures" part of the title quietly disappeared around issue 14 or so.

This week's update added the comic title Stuff 0f Nightmares: Slay Ride. Note that the "of" in that title isn't correct, it includes the digit zero rather than the letter "o".

This week's update added Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Present: April O’Neil (Canadian Edition). Should that actually be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Presents: April O’Neil (Canadian Edition) ?
(Similarly, should the pre-existing title Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Present: April O’Neil actually be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Presents: April O’Neil ?)-

The database lists Marvel's latest event series as Gods. The title is actually G.O.D.S. (note the punctuation and all-caps).

The database lists both Strange Academy: Amazing Spider-Man (which matches the indicia) and Strange Academy: The Amazing Spider-man (which does not match the indicia). The second of these titles should be deleted, of course.
The notes for Strange Academy: Moon Knight #1 (and all variants) mentions that the issue contains a digital code for Crypt of Shadows #1. This is not correct. It does contain a digital code for SA:MK #1 (as per Marvel's usual practice) but not for CoS #1. I think that the confusion may have arisen from the fact that the digital code sticker is on the same page as a half-page advertisement for CoS #1.

This week's update added Battlestar Galactica Annual published by Grandreams. The title is listed as a US title. I'm not totally positive but I think that this publisher is based in the UK. Can anybody confirm?
Also, this title lists two issues, #1978 and #1981. The #1981 issue cover scan bears the title "Mission Galactica". Can anybody confirm the title of this item as it is listed in the indicia?The comic title Robotics;Notes was also added. The title page on AA is here, but I get an error page when I try to navigate to the title from the AA title search box.

This week's update added the book title The History of Science Fiction and It’s Toy Figurines. Are you sure that there is an apostrophe in the title? I don't see an apostrophe in the cover scan, and "it's" w/ the apostrophe means "it is" and "its" w/out the apostrophe is the possessive form of "it." </grammarnazi>
The Marvel Art of Alex Maleev was added as a Comic title. Does this book reprint comic stories, or is it more of an art book? If the latter, then this should be moved to the Book category.
The 90s! For Babies!: A Totally Rad Counting Book was also added as a Comic title. Looking at the full set of preview images available on Amazon, this doesn't look like a comic to me and I suggest that it be moved to the Book category.

I think that I’m at least some situations the program update has been necessary for your ComicBase program to know how to handle the weekly content data. I don’t know that has been true all of the time, but it has been the case at least some of the time (obvious examples include new fields or new media categories).
-
I believe that you are correct. Mycomicshop lists release dates for the first two issues but not the last two, and that is almost always a giveaway that a series was fully solicited but not actually published. There is also a note at comics.org that confirms that this series experienced publication interruptus.
-
The hits keep on coming:
Batman/Catwoman Book #1 (tpb) has been cancelled, apparently no plans to resolicit. (Keep the two hardcover versions in the database, they have already been published.)
Batman: Killing Time Book #1 (tpb) has been cancelled, apparently no plans to resolicit. (Keep the hardcover versions in the database, they have already been published.)
-
This week's content update added the comic title 100% Marvel: Projet Marvels, Le: La Naissance des Super-Héros (Panini). There is also a pre-existing title in the database 100% Marvel: Le Projet Marvels: La Naissance des Super-Héros (Panini). If I understand CB's naming & listing conventions correctly, then I think that the newly added title is the one that needs to go.
(If I am wrong and you delete the older title, note that it has an issue listed that is not yet listed with the new title, so that info would need to be ported over.)Also added was the comic title Barkham Asylum. My understanding is that all orders for this were cancelled, I think a resolicit is planned. But until that happens, this should be removed from the database.
-
Eternal Warrior Classic Omnibus -- which was solicited last year, I think -- has been cancelled by the publisher. I'm not finding it in the database, but if it is in there somewhere then it should be removed.
-
Nubia & the Amazons Book #1 (tpb) has been cancelled, apparently no plans to resolicit. (Keep the hardcover version in the database, that has already been published.)
-
@Andre JCC Bouchard OK, the old torrent files in this thread are gone. What is the old thread that should go away?

DC has pushed out some cancellations. The following should be deleted from the database:
• Trial of the Amazons Book #1 (trade paperback) has been cancelled, apparently no plans to resolicit. (Keep the hardcover version in the database, that has already been published.)
• Hardware: Season One Book #1 (trade paperback) has been cancelled, apparently no plans to resolicit. (Keep the hardcover version in the database, that has already been published.)
• Foil-enhanced versions of Batman #404 facsimile edition, Batman #405 facsimile edition, Batman #406 facsimile edition, and Batman #407 facsimile edition have all been cancelled, but the non-foil versions of these will still be coming out. I'm not seeing any of these in teh database right now, so not sure if anything needs to be done on these or not.

@Andre JCC Bouchard To simplify things, would you be opposed to one of the moderators editing your earlier posts to remove older torrent links? My suggestion is that it might make sense to have only one working torrent download in the thread. Unless you (or others on the board) think that there is some utility in keeping the older torrent files around.
[I'm also assuming that you can't go in and edit your own old posts... if non-moderators have no time limit for moderating their own posts, then obviously you can do this on your own.]Thoughts?

The other exception is the Spider-Woman Pocket Book as that is in the database as Spider-Woman (Book). I'm sure it has been in the database for some time, there may be some (justifiable) hesitancy to change that title to make it look more like the others of its type. But the "Stan Lee Presents The Fantastic Four" was added so recently that we should be able to avoid it being an outlier.
-
The most recent content update changed Resident Alien: The Book of Love Book #7 to Resident Alien: The Book of Love #7.
What should have been done was change that issue to Resident Alien: The Book of Love Book #1.
-
This week's update added the comic title Stan Lee Presents the Incredible Hulk. That is a duplication of the title Incredible Hulk, The (Pocket Books) that has been present in the database for some time. The new title should be deleted.
While researching the above, I noticed that the database also includes Stan Lee Presents the Fantastic Four. I was pretty sure that this title was already in the database as Fantastic Four, The (Pocket Books), but maybe I am misremembering. (There is a UK title Fantastic Four Pocket Book, but that isn't what I am thinking of.) Since the late 70's U.S. Pocket Books series titles
allmostly follow the pattern of [name of superhero/team] (Pocket Books) it might be worth considering changing Stan Lee Presents the Fantastic Four to Fantastic Four, The (Pocket Books). Just a thought.
-
The tpb for the Resident Alien: The Book of Love series is listed in the database as Book #7. True, it is the seventh Resident Alien trade paperback in the series and it has a number 7 on the spine. But all of the other Resident Alien trade paperbacks are listed under their respective series as Book #1, so it would probably be appropriate to handle this particular book the same way, yes?
-
Although it is listed in the database, I don't believe that any issues of The Last Knight of St. Hagan were ever published. I think that this was cancelled after the most recent Scott Allie blow-up from a few years back. This title should be removed from the database.

Livestream #149 occurred, but it had enough production errors that Pete decided to bin it rather than keep it up on YouTube.
