    Bought a near-complete run of Batwing (27 of the 35 total books) for $25, mostly because I wanted these 2 books from the run - Batwing 19 (1st appearance of Luke Fox) and Batwing 20 (1st appearance of Luke Fox as Batwing):

    I use it, and I do like the layout and format - and the new look is nice. Here's my 2 cents: Pros: I like being able to easily sort by a number of factors, and I like having the comic covers as a visual guide It's easy to add books and there are plenty of relevant data points you can enter I like how they have a "keys" category and they are easily identifiable with icons. Along those same lines, I like the new addition of a "var" variant flag on variant comics, and how they use a light blue banner on the grid listing to denote a slabbed book Cons: Their pricing really isn't all that usable in my opinion. For example, I have a copy of Batman 1 New 52 in a newsstand which I estimate to be an 8.5. According to them, it's worth $700. Spoiler alert - it isn't. I have a 9.6 CGC-graded copy of the exact same book, and they say it's worth $280, which is probably low. Their pricing is all over the place. While they do have a large catalog of comics to choose from when adding to your collection, there are some glaring holes. They don't do great with newsstands for example. I have the entire Batman Hush run (608-619) in newsstand, but the option to add your book to your collection as a newsstand "variant" only exists in about four of those books, the rest of the run doesn't have the newsstand listed. This is just one of many cases where the newsstand version is just not there as an option. It can also be tough to find some one-shots or prestige format books. Their daily "hot comics" is kind of fun - it shows what they consider the "hot comics" in your collection - but there's no reason or justification given for it. Like today, it says Batman 407, Batman 609 and Spawn 9 are hot comics. Why are they hot right now but weren't yesterday? Added to this, it usually only lists the direct copy as the "hot" copy - for Batman 609, I have both the direct and newsstand copies in my Covrprice collection. Why is only the direct copy hot, but the newsstand isn't listed with it? The service is just ok for the cost in my opinion, but I would be better served to just create my own database or spreadsheet, especially since I always still need to look at recent eBay comps anyway when planning to buy or sell, since their prices are so wonky. At the end of the day, I do like the visuals and it gives me a way to quickly look through my collection when I'm bored or can't remember if I have a specific book, or how much I paid for a specific book. But I really should just get my behind in gear and make my own spreadsheet so I can stop paying for yet another service.
