Multiple Brand Emblems per Issue

We changed our handling of brand emblems for an issue. One now can select more than one brand emblem. There will be cleanup of the existing combined brand emblems needed.
We also updated the list per brand emblem and its usages.

Story Arcs and Reading Orders

We recently added story arcs to our database. This is to group stories associated by some sort of title, which includes traditional story arcs, crossovers and events, whether identified by story titles, trade dress or other emblems. Will take some to populate the database, and we have not finally decided what all is considered a story arc.Click for current list of story arcs.

As a form of companion functionality, we added reading orders to our collection subsitemy.comics.org. Any registered user can now create individual reading orders for any purpose. These can be made public for anyone to see, we might add search capabilities for reading orders at some point.

Updates To The Site! (Q2 2025)

Besides updating and renovating our page designs, in particular making it useable on small screens, we made a couple of changes on the behaviour of the site.

The result tables and lists are now more consistent throughout the site. On many pages you now fill find these two symbols.By clicking on them one can switch with a list view and an image view, e.g. using covers or creator faces.

Filtering of search results or lists is now usually available.

To avoid visual information overload in case of many variants or reprints, we show the full list only if their number is below a threshold.Logged-in users can set the thresholds in their profile to allow user-defined display.

The functionality for adding issues to a collection, or editing their collection status, is now accessible on the main site.

Most data objects now support markdown in the notes for visual structure. Notes now also support internal links, these are generated automatically and shown with the object name, e.g. [gcd_link_issue](442), or generally [gcd_link_'object_type'](id)

We changed the colors on the series status tables for a more consistent appearance. For issues, we added another layer to indicate that some sequence data is present.

Keywords are now generally clickable troughout the site.
