I’ve been working at this a few weeks off and on and have finally completed the overhaul of all the collected editions pages. It’s all custom code now, a lot easier to maintain, and there are a few nice little surprises.

The Changes

• There is now an EXPAND button that will pop up a nice box to show you all the details of each book. This previously expanded into an extra row but the popup works a LOT better on phones and desktop (and just looks nicer frankly).
• I’ve added filters at the top of the page. I might tinker with the actual looks of them but you can select MULTIPLE filters for each of the available column filters using the shift and ctrl keys. On phones, you will get checkboxes.
• I’ve added and have been slowly filling in the “Format” of each book so you can see at a glance if you’re looking at an OHC, Standard HC (SHC), Omnibus, Absolute, Library, etc.
• I’ve hidden a few columns that took up a ridiculous amount of space (like collects) and I put the purchase links right there in the main row without needing to click anything else. If you buy stuff from Amazon or OPB, I get money so feel free. I have always abhored ads so I prefer that (I’ve always provided links to these places out of convenience anyway).
• I’ve completely reworked the view on phones. You will now see just a couple columns in portrait view along with the expand button and if you turn your phone sideways, you’ll see even more columns (for easier sorting). This ensures that the site is actually usable on a phone without 3 letters per line being show but also transitions very nicely if you turn your phone into landscape mode (or use a tablet the same way).
• As this is now a database the upcoming and archive pages are automatically based on today’s date. They won’t lag behind anymore. Current and Next Week are also working quite well not automatically as well.

The Future

I am currently working on adding some new features now that I’ve laid down this coding for the main piece of the site. I hope to eventually add a “Watchlist” feature for Patreon subscribers and in general, keep tweaking things based on feedback. If you’ve got comments/feedback, make sure to use the contact page.

I updated from the last month’s solicits as well as some stuff people spied on Amazon or things Omar announced that haven’t been solicited. There might be another here or there as I dig through but this is the main one. If I add more, just keep an eye on the “Added” column because I put the date I added something and that will show you what is new!

• Something is Killing the Children – 10/6 -> 10/20
• Absolute Swamp Thing Vol 3 – 10/26 -> 3/15

That’s it for now. Not all days are big days. I will be sweeping through the DC books soon to see if anything else has changed!

As you’ve probably already heard, DC shuffled a lot of stuff around due to various factors lately (pandemic related shipping issues primarily). FYI, the following titles saw delays and have been updated in the database:
