Key Collector Comics app

Post by DirtbagSailor »

My published review of the Key Collector Comics app.

As you may know, Valiant and KCC have partnered on this project, which is (IMO) a handy pocket resource to have on your smartphone.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

I've been playing with this app since they announced this, and it's an excellent resource. Not as specific as I'd like (doesn't differentiate regular issues vs variants), but it gives me a ball park.

Nick is always on twitter, and is very responsive. If you shoot him your concerns, he will more than likely respond well

I got the app on iPad. It's a great idea. It will only improve with time.

It’s a decent app but surprised some more key variants are not included eg Lemire Harby 8. I expect it will expand over time though.

He has stated that he hasn't added the "rare" category yet, as this isn't really a "key" book. It's rare, and buyers will spend a good deal to get them, but they aren't key. I am hoping he gets to them, as well as some other nice variants...

The owner of the app is open to help with correcting errors found. He had the Bloodshot Salvation Metal variant listed as a 1:500 which it is not. Let him know its a 1:250. He is very open to feedback. He wants the app to be a success as much as we do. If you find something let them know :)

Hey everyone! Thanks for downloading the app and participating in the feedback! Key Collector Comics is very young in its development so expect great things to come with each build. I'm going to start a thread specific to your feedback so please add any corrections that are needed, any suggested keys, variants, rare comics etc. I just added about 35 a few days ago and will be adding more sent to me by Garrett Renken. I will check out the Lemire Harby 8 suggestion and consider all of your feedback on Valiant keys but also any suggestions you have for the app in general to make collecting more efficient and fun!

Thanks again and I hope to get as much feedback and constructive criticism as possible from the loyal fans of this incredible publisher!
