You guys need to step up. People pay for this service and we are a couple days after new books and they aren't in the database. I'm about to take my money elsewhere.

Csevengo,
I posted yesterday about the same problem in CPG - Questions and Answers. I took the "action" to post all variants with pictures and after a month, none have been added to the database. I then brought up a series that hasn't been added from multiple requests as far back as March this year. So I "complained" about this and ironically enough your 10 - 15 turn around is invalid. Before you start critiquing others, please get your facts straight. If we have a concern, we as paying members have a right to express them and not be slammed by someone that apparently doesn't know all the facts.

For the most recent questions.
Yes, comics are posted every week. We have chosen not to post things in advance in case they are delayed as is often the case. Previews doesn't always show the variant covers especially if the artist is still working on them. They never show the store or artist exclusives which can sometimes be 100 books.
A person goes into a comic shop, takes pictures of all the books and puts them in the system every week.
We do need help with the variants because there isn't a list so we rely on members to help. It's not "to add to the experience". (Although that is funny.) It's because different people have different interests. Some of our members don't care about variants or even new books and others don't care about Silver or Golden age books. Our goal is to give everyone a good experience.
For $50 or less than $1/week we update hundreds of prices, add hundreds of books, keep collections list safe, write blog posts, update social media, update the app with a barcode scanner, and a million other things. For the cost of one comic, we do this for you each month. Trust me, we aren't getting rich!
I hope that helps,
Ron

Are we having issues updating? I have some series that pieces are being skipped for instance: Doctor Strange issue 18 has no information, 19 does, 20 doesn't. I am seeing this on a number of the ones I am trying to input. My stack of comics that I am waiting to file is getting bigger each week rather than smaller. Spawn 300, still waiting on quite a few, Marvel Comics 1000 still waiting on covers are a few other examples.
