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!
