Cornwind Evil posted:So a friend of mine was asking me about the Living Corpse comic series/new issues. I go look around, and he asks about a series called "Relics" (ie Living Corpse: Relics) that was funded on Kickstarter in 2016. I tried finding this series: nothing. Information about it is all based on the Kickstarter in 2016 and a Youtube 'trailer' in 2017 that has no comments. What happened to this new miniseries? Kickstarter nonsense? Did the author pass away or something? There's no comments or updates on the kickstarter page? Is the author not on the internet? edit: kickstarter got fulfilled and they started another one. Wow this looks terrible. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/967343609/the-living-corpse-relics/posts

Does Marvel still have that dog that's bonded to a symbiote?

Are the new X-Men comics self contained or do you need to read all several new titles? I enjoyed House and Powers of X and want to continue but don't want to buy several new titles, but if you need to Read X-Men/Marauders/Excaliber/Fallen Angels just to get a single story in would rather not.

We've only had one issue each of X-Men and Marauders so far, so it's all guess work, but there was nothing in Marauders that required reading X-Men and Marauders also didn't expand on X-Men. You could read one or the other without missing any necessary info for the individual title.

Someone can and probably will correct me, but iirc, most titles keep storylines separate outside of event titles. So yeah, Batman and detective comics both feature the same characters, but you could read just one and the stories would be separate. You might get the old "Remember when Blob ate a live snake on a dare?*" and you see the box at the bottom with *Check out issue 235 of that book you aren't reading for that story

Reading into Infinity Gauntlet 2 or whatever it's called and realized I don't really know what they published between that and Annihilation. Did the cosmic stuff stop selling? I think there was a Peter David Captain Marvel

I think there was a Peter David Captain Marvel After Infinity War was Infinity Crusade. The Infinity Watch series ran for 3 or 4 years. Silver Surfer was still ongoing at the time as well. And the CM series you mentioned. Annihilation really did spark the Cosmic Marvel revival and it's been pretty heavy since.

The nearly full rundown of Thanos related comic drama goes like this up until Annhilation. First appearance in Iron Man and subsequent fleshing out in Captain Marvel/Warlock solo books and and the first Cosmic Cube story that crosses over with Avengers. Then you have the first Infinity Gems story with what they retroactively call now "Thanos War" that happens in several issues of Strange Tales and Warlock before finishing in Avengers Annual #7 and Marvel Two in One Annual #2. After that Thanos is dead and the only appearance until shortly before the Infinity Gauntlet gets rolling is his cameo in the Death of Captain Marvel graphic novel. Then he returns during Starlin's run on Silver Surfer before spinning out into Thanos Quest and Infinity Gauntlet. After that you have Infinity War and Infinity Watch. Then Infinity Crusade. Then more Infinity Watch including a crossover with Thor called Blood and Thunder. Then you have the Cosmic Powers minis which are... eh. Then you have Thanos next showing up for a small arc of Thor. Then you get Infinity Abyss and Marvel: The End which leads directly into the first Thanos solo series. That solo series sets up the events of Annihilation and the rest from there is pretty easy until the last couple years where there's a seemingly split continuity with Starlin finishing off the Thanos story his way and the Thanos stuff that goes on main Marvel books. The Starlin side stuff is as follows: Thanos Annual #1 The Infinity Revelation Thanos vs Hulk The Infinity Relativity The Infinity Entity The Infinity Finale The Infinity Siblings The Infinity Conflict The Infinity Ending All of those stories are iffy at best when it comes to being in continuity but that's how Starlin wanted to wrap up his decades long work on the character and so they let him do that off in his own weird little corner.

RIP ComicBookDB, I guess? http://www.comicbookdb.com/index.php quote:IMPORTANT! ComicbookDB.com will be closing its doors on December 16th, 2019 as we look towards creating a new and improved tool for collectors to utilize. We want to make sure everyone has a chance to download their data & collections by clicking on this link after logging in. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to contribute to the site and we look forward to seeing you again soon. If you have any questions, click here. Any suggestion on a database site? I guess I'd prefer local so I don't lose (another) online database. Or I can just use a spreadsheet, I guess.

Plus, I didn't like how they needed a scan of the cover for each issue. So many pages blank because they wouldn't use a non-scanned cover.

Huh, I've never been warned, though I haven't added a lot in recent years. (checks stats, 651 new entries, 1508 image uploads (not counting replacing low quality images)). It why I don't add a lot to the music database I use. They have a review and approval process that is so backed up, it takes 6-8 months for changes to go into effect and by the time they look at them, they start bitching about missing info that I can't remember cause it was 6-8 months ago.

Yeah, I'm starting a trail on the Music and Comics sections of the site. I just use Apple's Music app to keep track of which CDs/Vinyls I own, but it's not very elegant (I have no control over the sort order for example). Probably the same for comics, I never thought comicbookdb.com was easy to use in a comic shop.

I'm started using collectorz, is the iOS app worth using over the website on the phone? I'm not planning on using the barcode reader. $15 a year is a little steep (times 2 as I'm also going to use the music collectorz part), if the Safari version will be the same.

Yup The Black (which is associated with Death, and run by the Parliament of Decay). The Red (which is connected to all animal life and run by the Parliament of Limbs). The Clear (which is associated with aquatic life and run by the Parliament of Waves). The White (which is associated with air elementals and run by the Parliament of Vapors). The Grey (which is connected to all fungal life). An unnamed fire realm (which is associated with fire elementals and connected to the Parliament of Flames. The Melt (which is connected to Earth elementals and run by the Parliament of Stones). The Metal (which is connected to metal and technological elementals and run by The Rithm). The Divided (which is associated with bacteria, amoebas, and other microscopic forms of life).
