In today’s Comic Connect update, two changes that will save you a lot of typing when adding new comics by Issue or by Series. Also, we added support for the new CGCxJSA label for slabs.
- New “Search for…” suggestions when adding comics by Series
- New “Search for…” suggestions when adding comics by Issue
- Support for the new “CGC x JSA Authentic Autograph” Label Type
New “Search for…” suggestions when adding comics by Series
As you know, when you start typing in the Series Title box, the app always shows you a dropdown with 5 suggestions for the most popular matching series. Click one of these to instantly select that series.
In this update, we added a new “Search for …” entry at the top of that dropdown, with a smart search suggestion. Basically it tries to “auto complete” what you are typing. Click that box to do a series search on those words (or use arrow keys to select the suggestion!)
For example, just type “ama” and the “Search for” suggestion already becomes “the amazing spider-man”. Click it to instantly find all Amazing Spider-man series.
New “Search for…” suggestions when adding comics by Issue
On the Issue tab, we added the same “Search for …” auto-complete smartness. For example, type “iro” and it will suggest “iron man”. Use arrow key down to select that suggestion and fill it in. Now enter the issue number (e.g. “17” and hit Enter to find all issues 17 of all Iron Man series.
This should make the Issue tab even more efficient for quickly finding specific issues.
Support for the new “CGC x JSA Authentic Autograph” Label Type
The CGC x JSA Authentic Autograph label is a new black and yellow CGC certification for autographed comics, introduced in 2023. This label signifies that the comic has been graded by Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) and its autograph authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA).
We have now added this one as an option to the Label Type field!
