How do you organize your "Shooter" books?
I was curious to hear how other fans organize their "Shooter" comic books here.
Do you group them all chronologically as they came out, keep them all together in one box or split the runs with other comic books?
I had my Defiant/Broadway books (small stack) grouped with a few independent comics to fill up a long box but now that i'm about caught up with my "Pre-Unity" Valiant, i'm planning to group my "Shooter" stash in a long box like this:
- Nintendo/Valiant/U2K-Defiant-Broadway-Legion of SuperHeroes (last run) - then the upcoming "Dark Horse" books
If the box gets too filled up....I might group the Nintendo books with my Bongo comics stash.
How do you guys store your "Shooter" comic stash?

That's almost like asking how I store all my comics. Anyway, I also store by publisher. One master set, then all doubles on a back shelf. And one small box for my Shooter-signed comics.vikingspawn wrote:How do you guys store your "Shooter" comic stash?

What this really means is that you just take the pile of comics that you've just bought and throw them in the box behind the pile of comics you bought the week before, right?Phantom. wrote:I'm different from everyone else.
I store by day month year in which the comic was purchased.
When I add old back issues it confusses others but I have a great memory.

You must have some awfully big shoeboxes then, the typical shoebox would require the comic be rolled up at least somewhat to fit inside.Cyberstrike wrote:Yeah, they are.Brother J wrote:a shoe box???

The only books that I do a bit differently are my Image boxes. With those, I keep all the Kirkman books first, then all Faerber books, then all the rest of the Image stuff. I do this to make it easier to pull out the books I read / look at often.

Ditto. Of course, all I have left are Valiant-Acclaim and one DU box.iggy101us wrote:By publisher, by title, by issue number.
The only exceptions are my signed Bloodshot(-related) books are all together and various VALIANT alum issues get put in the "Various VALIANT alum issues" box. Which is where my signed 'shot-related issues happen to reside, as well.
