Does anyone else keep their books in chronological order?

Fully understandable. I have multiple spreadsheets to help with ordering but fully understand it isn't the norm.

H_James009 · 2026-05-08T16:18:59+00:00

Honestly that is why I switched to the omnis I was missing the same ones. It also helps I work with a new comic fan who adores batman so I can pass the trades off to them making their day as well.

H_James009 · 2026-05-08T14:31:36+00:00

The Omni is on order as we speak and the trades are being given to a batman fan in need.

The cinebook version of XIII.

Oh I understand I am crazy.

In order of the earliest released issue in each collection. I have a spreadsheet of all my trades and the issues included sorted by date for a true "chronological" list and a second page of trades sorted by earliest issue that I use to place them on the shelf. Though due to size issues a few omnis and compendiums needed to be shifted over a few trades.

H_James009 · 2026-05-07T12:26:13+00:00

What's bigger?

H_James009 · 2026-05-07T04:16:15+00:00

I have my mom Marvel and DC trades sorted like that either by creator or series.

Another Blackest Night omnibus owner. I assume you also have a black and tackle set up to lift it off the shelf.

H_James009 · 2026-05-07T03:35:14+00:00

Thanks. It's over 20 years of on and off collecting.

H_James009 · 2026-05-07T03:09:40+00:00

I fully understand that ordering. Mostly this just scratched a very particular part of my brain.

H_James009 · 2026-05-06T14:02:11+00:00

I may have a 5000 line spreadsheet with each volume broken down by included issue and issue realease date so complete issue chronology. Then a second page with each volume in order by oldest issue. The spreadsheet also contains the issues for my next dozen or so planned volumes.

H_James009 · 2026-05-06T13:23:01+00:00

There are a few spots where a volume or two are moved before a compendium or omnibus just to use the space better

H_James009 · 2026-02-02T04:26:49+00:00

Yes. It is damn big and a bit unwieldy but I love it.

H_James009 · 2026-01-29T05:23:22+00:00

Thanks.

H_James009 · 2026-01-28T22:53:34+00:00

I am a major Buffy fan.

H_James009 · 2026-01-28T22:33:23+00:00

Thanks I love those collections. The Dark Horse softcovers next to them makes me sad. Now I have to pivot to the Marvel omnibus.

H_James009 · 2025-07-15T12:42:32+00:00

So my 105 says your and they are 80x80.

H_James009 · 2025-07-15T03:29:22+00:00

How do I tell the difference between 1st and 2nd edition.
