I’d like to know what comic book cataloging software you’ve used, which ones you’ve like why and why not. What are the pros and cons of each.
Also if you used any web sites to catalog your comic books — let us know that too.
I’ve purchased two software packages: ComicBase by Atomic Avenue/Human Computing and IntelliScanner Comic Edition by IntelliScanner. I prefer IntelliScanner Comic Edition because its cross platform (I’m a Mac user) and it came with a bar code scanner. I liked ComicBase as well as it comes with a huge database of Titles and Issues which is updated weekly. Though on the downside, you had to pay every year for an update to the software or else you could no longer receive updates to the database.
As far as web sites that I’ve used to catalog comic books, I only have experience with the My Collection feature on the Comic Book Database (CBDB). Its fairly rudimentary as editing issues after you’ve entered them is a royal pain. However it does have on distinct advantage over local cataloging software packages in that its available wherever you have an internet connection!
I’ll post an more in depth review of each software package in later blog post.
Respond in the comments section with cataloging software you’ve used.
