Has anyone else used this program? It has been very heavily advertised in recent comics. I am trying it but i think i am finding it too time-intensive and labour-intensive to be worthwhile.

Tried it... didn't like it, gave up on it once I discovered that ComicBase now has a free version that is fully functional, though without such a massive database and limits to, I think 500 comics. It works with Atomic Avenue, which is a GREAT way to shop for comics and provides an alternative to Ebay with way more comics posted at any one time.

I got to know ComicBase working at a comic shop in Vermont and I loved it, but not the price, though it is worth it if you've got comics coming out your ears and are constantly buying and or selling. It really is the best option out there for mega-collectors.

My collection isn't quite at the point where I need organization software... but it's getting there. Now I can get started with the free ComicBase, and upgrade once my collection is entirely out of hand. Right now I'm setting it up to keep track of my TMNT comics exclusively.
