My CBR Shame

uh, new site for M@rv3ls anyone? Hit me by userprofilemail.

It's down at the moment, but pretty much everything usually turns up at
http://rapidsearch.yi.org/?

just type cbr into the search box

Yeah, that's what I've been using lately, but like you say, it's down right now.

It's now back.

I use www.h33t.com (actual site address, not google-proofed)

There's a small but pretty committed bunch of uploaders there, a lot of the fallout of Demonoid ended up there, including the guys who are seeding the Marvel & DC chronologies and of course the weekly DCP.

Also it's free membership and they have a good, healthy attitiude towards seeding/leeching.

If anyone would like to trade, mail me.

Do I have the patience to get Pep Comics #1-65, one file at a time?

I would, or at least for the issues (1-17?) with The Comet in them.

Urgh I have spent the last fortnight catching up on four months comics. My findings are that comics suck, or they're briefly good until Gale Simone stops writing them suddenly.

Just moved 4 GB of unread things that seemed like great ideas at the time onto DVD so I can forget about them entirely.

So what CBR programme do my fellow Mac users rely on? I'm having real problems with Jomic, it corrupts somehow and unistalls itself every time I shut down. I tried Comical for a bit, but that was even worse, prone to crashing mid-comic.

I use Simple Comic.

I ponied up for ComicBookLover. Can't remember a crash or any problems whatsoever. There is a trial version that puts a little logo in the corner while you're trying it out.

Thanks fellas. So far so good with Simple Comic.

I use ComicBookLover too. It's like iTunes for comics. Totally worth it.

Simple Comic is great!

Thirding ComicBookLover

Simple Comic is great!

Yeah, I like it so well I actually gave the guy a donation for his donationware, which I'm not the best about doing.

So, uh, why the hell was Bl@ck P@nther 6 skipped last week?!

I can't remember if DCM has ever been mentioned on ILC.

http://www.digitalcomicmuseum.com/

oh cool.

I may have mentioned it before and totally forgotten about it. When I tried to register just now, I found out I'd already registered with that email address a couple of years ago.

I know I've seen it before but somehow didn't bookmark it.

Infinity Trousers

Don't know wtf I was thinking, but I acquired 3 gigs of Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos scans.

i wouldn't mind!

One very low-priority goal I've had is to collect every Marvel from FF#1 until Shooter took over as Ed-in-Chief... but most of these are so bad. Even the early Kirby ones. I probably won't keep them.

Yeah, Sgt. Fury is surprisingly good. Among the better '60s Marvel stuff.

I have achieved your low-priority goal electronically and am very nearly there with physical reprints of same. Speaking of Shooter, though, one of my many shameful CBR acquisitions is the complete output of Defiant Comics. Top that.

I couldn't find the thread where somebody told the board about L!br@ry G3n3sis, so this will do -- I just discovered a new (to me) site called Re@d A11 C0mics.

http://readallcomics.com/

Thanks, I read the first three issues of The Blue Flame and some Justice League Europe. I felt dirty but good

The site makes it much easier for me to Just Fucking Read The Comic rather than store the file on my computer and put off reading it forever

TY WmC - I went looking for old letter columns in issues of Marvel's The Champions (for 'research' purposes obv) but the scans I checked on that site were all from later printings with recolouring, no ads, bullpen bulletin etc. Fine if you just need to read the story - but I like all the surrounding matter as much as the strips themselves (which always look better shot directly from the comics, imho)

I know this isn't the thread for such things but the omnibi (at least the ones I've bought) have been pretty good lately about including such ancillary material of late. No non-house ads, obvs, but everything else.

i am continuing my shameful daily metadata entry for my 150k+ megaarchive, which is a terrible OCD project i've been doing on and off for years dependent on my stress levels... more when i'm anxiety ridden. 3/4 of the way through inputting 7 or 8 meticulously managed bits of archiving info per file, for about 1M handtyped details! Oh boy, this is useless! Cheaper than medication likely.

is any of this data that could also be usefully added to the GCD, if you want to feel like your labor has a communal benefit?

or vice versa, any way of 'leveraging' that data to save yourself some work?

i am using a horribly outdated reader unfortunately and i would need a tech savvy person's work to help me figure this out. I'm on Ehon. Anybody wanna hold my hand?

Marvel Unlimited needs you forks
