Right now all my trades and hardcovers are in boxes because I'm moving, but I like to organize my comics in publisher>character>author.

Mine are alphabetical by title, regardless of publisher. But for a title like Daredevil, I have my three Miller/Janson volumes, then Miller's Born Again, then Man Without Fear (publication order), then all the Bendis TPBs, and then all the Brubakers. I have Astonishing X-Men under "A," New Avengers under "N," 52 at the beginning (before "A"), and Darwyn Cooke's DC: The New Frontier under "D," rather than "N."

At the moment I've got mine roughly grouped into publisher > character > arc / run, with the runs ordered by rough chronology. For example, my Batman section looks something like: Year One / DKR (and other misc 80s / 90s stuff), Gotham Central, Morrison's run, and then bits of Snyder's. The problem I have (and what inspired the question) was stuff like Final Crisis, which could be reasonably put in the middle of that Batman run or with Seven Soldiers and Multiversity in its own section. On the one hand it feels like a silly thing to care about, on the other hand I figure the books have to go somewhere so I might as well organise them. Moving them around did also make me realise how much heavier the newer glossy paper is compared to the older stuff.

Just think about where you would look to find the book and put it there. I don't worry too much about how "proper" it is. Not hardcovers, but my floppies has a huge Amazing Spider-Man section that includes, ASM, Dark Reign: Sinister Spider-Man, Spider-island, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Women, etc, more or less chronologically. I figure if I want any of those books, I'll think "Spider-Man!" and go to that section.

I tend to go by publisher for non manga. Then I sort DC and marvel by characters/teams, then event books. The rest of the publishers are alphabetical by title. For manga I do it by creator. That said right now most of the books are in piles on the floor because we just moved last month and haven't put all the bookshelves up yet. I am going to use this discussion as an excuse to post a picture of our new shelf though.  It's in our living room so we wanted to just put up stuff we really like. It's not particularly organized.

For writers with more than a couple books I organize all of their stuff in blocks of Writer > original publication date, which covers 90% of the stuff I own. The rest of it's organized by "theme" on a continuum from superhero to not, so Batman '66 goes with Batman Adventures, Essex County goes with It's a Bird, Demo goes with Daytripper etc.

I have mine organised by Publisher, then by character or title, e.g. all Bat-family stuff is together, all X-titles are together. Within those groupings, I'll usually arrange them chronologically. Also I have everything separated by type, so omnibuses are on a single shelf together, tbps are together, OSHCs are together.

Teenage Fansub posted:Pile on floor. This but unironically. To be fair I moved back in with my parents a couple weeks ago and I'm planning to move back out as soon as I can so this is a short-term situation for me. I'll worry about organizing and making things look nice once I'm back out somewhere semi-permanent. In the meantime I at least try to keep my pile in the corner and nice enough that the books don't get damaged.

Expedit shelves are the same size, they just made the outer walls thinner. Which doesn't really matter, since Expedit walls were hollow, anyway.

redbackground posted:I just try to avoid going over 2.5". But probably around 30-40. Excellent. I have some pending projects I'd like to get bound purely so I actually go back to read my old back issues, and knowing that I can fit that much in one volume is quite nice.

I'd say 30 is absolute max, and that's if you pull out any double-sided ad pages and back covers. But I've only bound older comics from the '80s and '90s, so if the modern glossy paper is thinner, you could probably squeeze in a few more. My one volume where I went slightly over 30 issues is a little heavier and more unwieldy than I would have liked.

(The ongoing Darth Vader comic is ending at issue 25, plus there's a one-off "Vader Down" and one Annual). Past that, I followed all 4 New 52 Green Lantern titles until issue 20 each (when the production teams all switched over), and I wouldn't mind binding those into a volume each.

At the time I was just subscribed to too many comics and a lot of them I felt like I was following out of obligation rather than because I was truly getting a lot of enjoyment out of them. So when the Issue 20s all came around it seemed like a good breakpoint to trim down all the books I was getting

Vader Down #1 was its own one-off thing (as far as series numbering is concerned), but I'll be working that in to my Vader hardback. Vader Down 2-6 were part of the Star Wars ongoing and Darth Vader ongoing lines, (like Vader Down #3 is also Darth Vader #17 or whatever it was) Edit: so about half of Vader Down will be in what I get bound jivjov fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Sep 1, 2016 |

Yeah, I know. They're your books, obviously, but it's weird to me that you'd not include the Star Wars issues since they're part of the Darth Vader story (and vice-versa), and if you choose not to include them, you'll either have to swap over to a different book to get the whole story and/or not have the complete story in one book. I guess if your only goal is archiving books, that's fine, but personally, I'd prefer to be able to read the Darth Vader story straight through, which requires those issues, as well.

As far as my own neuroses go, it would bother me a disproportionate amount to have Star Wars Ongoing issues bound into a book with Darth Vader issues. Plus, i seem to recall that the crossover wasn't super strict on absolutely having to read each Vader Down issue in order for it to make sense. I'll give the Vader Down run a reread before I send them off to be bound; if my recollection is inaccurate I'll see about maybe picking up a second set of Vader Down and have the complete mini series bound in both my Vader book and my eventual Star Wars ongoing book...

I do think you're right about that. From what I recall, the Star Wars issues focused on their characters and the Darth Vader issues focused on Vader. Our OCD is different I guess!

Barnes and Noble has 40% off a single item with the coupon code LMQCJGX26KQFK. I believe you can use it multiple times for separate orders and it is valid until September 6th 2:59am EST.
