comiXology releases MobileSafari interface for comic browsing
Macenstein has posted about a cool feature from comiXology for us comic book geeks out there. They're created an While we're at it, I'm currently poking around for comic book collection software for the Mac (the folks are selling their house, and they asked me to clear the old collection out of their closet). So far, it seems like Comics 2 is the pick of the litter. Does anyone want to share a good tip on an app that will help me organize the few boxes of books I've got? I would love if Delicious Library did it, but while I'm sure it could handle my graphic novels, I doubt it would be able to do individual issues. Anyone have a recommendation?

I have been praying for a comic book reader for the iPhone for soooo long, I hope it goes native.

If you don't mind a webapp rather than something on your machine, http://www.comicbookdb.com is pretty excellent. Think LibraryThing for comics...

I seem to remember an interview w/ the Delicious Library creator where he was asked that exact question. The response was basically "not gonna happen" due to the lack of solid comic bar code databases. But yeah, that would be a dream, just being able to use the iSight camera to catalog all my comics!
That said, there's something to be said for a straightforward "manual entry" solution, and Comics 2.0 seems to be quite nice! Thanks for the link!

ComicBookLover is good for reading comics. Comic Collector Live is good for cataloging comics but you'll have to run it in Windows via Parallels, Boot Camp or some other way to run Windows on your Mac.
