Due to events at the end of the book placing Madame Xanadu: Disenchanted around February 1940, I’ve moved it before the second Batman Chronicles trade.
I’m currently working on the golden age area. I’ve previously decided that the modern age retcon books fit nicely with the silver age of heroes, so I’m figuring on that “year one” period (starting with Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn) being set right around 1955 for the purposes of sorting the golden age books.
Ok, I ate up (David, who just moved in, cooks a mean chicken) and am continuing with the Buffyverse updates.
I also added the forthcoming Angel book, Angel Volume 6: Last Angel in Hell.
It was hard to find the exact contents of that online, but I saw it listed as 23-27 and Annual 1 – which seems about right. I’ll correct it when it comes out, if need be.
I was going to add the Willingham run collection as well, but I found so many contradictory listings. Does anyone know if it is “Crown Prince Syndrome” or “Immortality for Dummies?” I’m leaning towards the second, since that’s what it says on the IDW forums, but Amazon still has the wrong listing. I guess I’ll wait on this one. Same for the upcoming Spike trade.
Here are the books:
And with that, the Buffyverse reading order is complete and up to date! It’s actually the first one with the whole list finished! Woo!
Now tomorrow I just have to get it so the characters display correctly on the individual book pages.
Today is my day off from work so I figured I had a fair amount of time to work on something – I might actually be able to finish adding the info to the Buffyverse books. I’ve got some done so far and will keep working until later on today.
Now, the Buffyverse is going to have its own set of tags for characters. I’m tagging them, so Rupert Giles will work, for example, but I haven’t put the code in to get those characters to display on the book pages yet. No headers either.
The info is there, but it will be a bit before you can use it the way you can use the DC characters on the sidebar. Eventually, each universe will have its own side bar and taxonomy set.
The creator taxonomy is shared between universes, so you can see the work that person has done across titles.
Anyway, here are the book updates so far:
Now I gotta eat dinner. I’ll work on some more in a bit!
I had a really long day at work, getting home just before 12, but I managed to get a few book updates in before collapsing. Here they are:
I also realized that I didn’t have to name cover images with underscores because it’s not the 90s anymore and my internet can handle spaces (especially because wordpress auto converts them and then uses the spaced file name for the image name… which looks a lot better without the underscores.) So I’ve started doing that a little differently. One day, if I’ve somehow finished everything else, I’ll go back and change the ones I’ve already uploaded.
They’re not worked into the overall timeline yet, but I’ve added the rest of the Showcase Presents titles, making the database complete as far as I know for existing releases.
They do, however, show up on the Showcase Presents series page, just not in any real order (new ones anyway, the ones after these seem to show up just fine).
That’s all of them, I think (including a couple forthcoming ones.) Anyone know one that you think I missed? Let me know!
