Resources

Good databases:

• Grand Comics Database - good breadth and depth. Templates: {{gcdb}} and {{gcdb series}}
• Comic Book DB - similar good coverage with a cleaner and more accessible front end. Template: {{comicbookdb}}
• Big Comic Book DataBase - useful as a back-up but coverage isn't as wide but it may be deeper for some titles
• CBDB - another option but a bit less user-friendly
• UXN - a fairly comprehensive database in regards to X-men related books. Full synopsizes, character biographies, and creator information.

Useful for news, reviews and interviews:

• Newsarama - good for news updates and announcements as well as interviews
• Comic Book Resources - ditto
• Comics Bulletin
• Broken Frontier - can be another useful source for reviews

Comics Portal

The Comics Portal requires regular input and is always seeking volunteers. Help us bring this portal at Featured portal status!
