In an effort to keep the main database of books clean and as complete as possible, I started an Upcoming Unsolicited Books page for books that have been announced but are not necessarily solicited yet or on one of the distributors’ websites/databases yet. As I wrote on the page itself…

The purpose of this page is mostly to list books that Omar from Near Mint Condition has announced or that have appeared SOMEWHERE but NOT the catalogs provided by the publishers via Diamond, PRH, S&S, etc. If I know about a book but I don’t actually have hard data to back it up (like an entry on the PRH site or Edelweiss), it’s going on this page until then (also sometimes books get pushed out so far they drop off and get cancelled/resolicited so I will probably add them back here at that point). I had been adding dummy entries for these books but I felt this page would be significantly more helpful. Generally this page will be almost exclusively Marvel because they tend to be the only ones to announce books long before they hit the catalog. DC is the exact opposite and we find books in the catalog long before they actually announce anything.

As the books on that page get officially solicited or put onto one of the sites where I have hard info I can add to my database, I’ll move them from this page to the database officially. If you’ve got any questions, as always, drop me a line on the contact page or hit up our Discord.

As per usual, I’ve finished up the monthly solicits for September which can be found on the September 2022 page. If you haven’t been paying attention to that, it’s where the comic companies officially announce the stuff that is going to be pre-orderable starting next month. Some we already knew about, some are surprises, etc. I get most of these directly from each publisher and some have embargo dates when they go live whereas others I just have to hurry and slap it together!

Also I took the liberty of updating the Out of Print/Stock page. Turtledog made an update like…2 days ago so that’s some pretty fresh info!

A close friend of ours in the Comic Releases community has recently run into a bit of a hard spot. I’m not going to go into great detail because we’re trying to protect their privacy during a hard time, but if you’d like to help support a beloved member of the CR community, we started a GoFundMe page to help pay down their medical bills.

I will also be donating the next couple months of my Patreon subs to the cause so if you’re a subscriber, thank you very much, you are now also helping out! Additionally we’re going to be running some auctions for books in a few places (including the Comic Releases Discord) to try and get a little extra to donate as well. So if you want to buy some books or even donate some of your own to the cause, feel free to stop by!

So today I sat down and added 2 new things for the watchlist feature on the site!

• You can now get a share link for your watchlist at the top of your watchlist page where it says “Share your list using this link” or you can click the “Copy link to clipboard” link to have it automatically copied for you.
  • Update: I’ve also updated this feature to encrypt your user ID so people can’t just randomly browse through user IDs. If you grabbed the share URL earlier today already, grab the new one!
• I’ve added a mass edit button to the top of all pages with tables on them. So whether you’re on your watchlist page, upcoming collected editions page, archive, etc, you can toggle that. The affiliate links will disappear and the watchlist add/remove links will appear in their place!

As always, if you got questions, suggestions, etc, hit me up on the contact page!
