This week I’ve been very busy making enhancements, updating and adding pages and cleaning up here and there to make your experience more enjoyable. Some of the noticeable improvements are:
- Search I’ve retooled this function so you can search every page on the CCL website. You can also search the entire WWW via Google, simple uncheck the box.
- New Sections On the Library page I separated the Marvel Omnibuses from the Masterworks into their own dropdown menu. I also added a dropdown for DC Comics Absolute (and Slipcase) editions. Both sections have their own .xls Checklists that you can download for free
- Two New Omnibuses I added detailed pages for the forthcoming Wolverine Omnibus and the Captain Britain by Alan Moore and Alan Davis Omnibus. More information, including cover art, will be posted for both books as Marvel makes it available.
- Softcover Masterworks I also added cover art (thanks to Marvel’s 70th Anniversary ad on CBR) for their upcoming Softcover Marvel Masterworks: Amazing Spider-Man Volume 1 (Regular and Variant covers).
There’s some backend coding that I did too, but it’s not very exciting. Just know that I strive to make this the best Collected Editions site on the net. Questions or comments are always welcome. Now on to a few links:
- Joe, FPI Blog Log, on the many upcoming events a number of UK libraries.
- The long rumored Stan’s Soapbox: The Collection from The Hero Initiative will be in stores November 19. It is a 144-page book collecting all Stan Lee’s “Soapboxes” from 1967-1980. Softcover $14.99; Hardcover $35.00 (100 copies), and a Signed Hardcover $99.00 (150 copies). I’m getting the regular hardcover. Order fast be fore they are gone.

I was almost tempted to buy the Best of Wolverine HC but w/ the Wolverine Omnibus on the way I will be saving the post christmas money and putting it towards that instead.
Again thanks for the podcast & the news/notes section Chris.
