I’ve added over 40 covers and tagged Swamp Thing in every book he appears in.

The Swamp Thing Reading Order is complete, with header and everything! I’m pretty happy cause he’s my absolute favorite character in comics.

Every book on this list is fully tagged with all publication information, even including a few showcase volumes and some massive crossover books – which were a pain in the butt, let me tell you. This took two days, which was much longer than the last database updates, but hey – at least I won’t have to tag them all over for any other character’s list.

I also created database entries for the five hardcover Saga of the Swamp Thing collections:

Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book 1

Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book 2

Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book 3

Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book 4 (upcoming release)

Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book 5 (upcoming release)

I’m not going to link every book that I completed the entry but here are the major crossover volumes that are now appearing on a lot of other character lists as well:

Showcase Presents: The Brave And The Bold: Batman Team-ups Vol. 3

Showcase Presents: DC Comics Presents: Superman Team-Ups

The Greatest Team-Up Stories Ever Told

Absolute Crisis On Infinite Earths

Swamp Thing: A Murder of Crows

DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore

Millennium

Sandman: The Kindly Ones

Underworld Unleashed

Kingdom Come

Justice League of America: The Nail

Infinite Crisis

With all these big books complete, it’s actually the biggest DC Universe update in a long time. Even got four hellblazer books completed on there – that’s gonna be another vertigo u doozy.

Now to get tonight’s review in before 12, if humanly possible!

Hey guys, you may not have been following closely, but with a lot of help the Comic Issue Reading Order: Bruce Wayne: The Road Home (DC Event) post has undergone some heavy tweaking.

Of particular interest with this update is the placing of a couple Red Robin issues. Thanks LEO!

Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed to the effort – I really believe we have the absolute best list out there for this event. Continue offering your advice, folks!

First of all, congrats to Jedediah from Lincoln, NE (TRO user Topicality) who won the Superman Chronicles Vol. 1 giveaway! Jedediah, your book will be in the mail on monday.

On to the update: Today we’ve finished adding covers and publication information to all the Lucifer books, plus adding a header, making the Lucifer Reading Order look nice and pretty.

Here are the books that were updated:

Lucifer: The Devil In The Gateway

Lucifer: Children and Monsters

Lucifer: A Dalliance With The Damned

Lucifer: Nirvana

Lucifer: The Divine Comedy

Lucifer: Inferno

Lucifer: Mansions of the Silence

Lucifer: Exodus

Lucifer: The Wolf Beneath the Tree

Lucifer: Crux

Lucifer: Morningstar

Lucifer: Evensong

One of my favorite series. If you haven’t checked it out before now, keep in mind that it’s highly recommended.

I’ve still got to tag our favorite fallen son in the Sandman books, but those will come as soon as I can get to them. Perhaps my next database update!

I also updated the next Tor book, collecting the 2008 miniseries, in anticipation of my review tonight. If I can, I might be able to get two reviews in during one day! Ah, I love days off from my day job :)

So one of our plugins was conflicting with a custom field – they both were set to “title” so when ever that plugin refreshed, it would steal/wipe all the “title” information used to display in Reviews, Giveaways, Uncle Gorby’s Corner of Free Stuff, and Comic Issue Reading Orders, as well as on the front page and in the sidebar for Reviews.

I finally figured it out when it wiped again tonight (I think I’ve posted about having to reset all those titles before) and changed the custom field to be “display-title” which should keep the data separate.

Of course, I still had to go in and put in all the titles again, which wasted a few hours of my time. Frustrating!

Luckily, Beth had been scouring for some covers since earlier today, so we still managed to get in a real database update.

For my Books of Magic review I added tags and all info to the book.
