HI, thank you for posting. Regarding all of your HC and TPB posts, quoted from our newsletter:
CLZ Core for Comics: Earlier inclusion of Manga, TPBs/HCs and regular comics
It’s no surprise that the fall of the biggest comic distributor had a massive impact on the comic book industry as a whole. The ripple effect it created even had an impact on us, as the Diamond Previews were an important source of new release data. We patched the wound of missing comics almost immediately when publishers started to switch to different distributors. Our partnership with CovrPrice was a big help with this too. However, although not noticeable at first, it created a hole with missing manga, trade paperbacks and hardcovers for upcoming releases.
A few months ago, we asked CLZ web-developer Joe to create new tools to deal with the various new data sources we now have access to. And that has now been done! The journey to that goal definitely came with its own set of problems but he has made it work somehow (Joe truly is a coding wizard). He even worked on perfecting the way our data managers can edit and adjust new releases based on their FOC dates.
Our content managers Rowdy, Justin and Taco are now using the new tools to get new comic data in Core quicker and even before FOC dates strike. This will have the most effect on upcoming TPB’s, HC’s and Manga, but regular comics will also appear in our CLZ Core earlier!
Yep, I was aware of the issues you were having following the Diamond debacle. But what does that mean for all the missing TPBs and HCs, etc from the past few months?? I shouldn’t be reporting them? And just add them manully to my own db?
