I want to implement some comics within calibre using comictagger before to get the correct metadata informations.
To Lynxai : can you give me an example about comics on which you use custom columns ?!

1) Import comics in Comicrack - Select all - Convert to CBZ
2) Use Comictagger to tag the files in "CBL" format
3) Import comics in Calibre (Previously, I´ve already created 2 customs columns: "Story Arc" -series type- and "Format" -Fixed values-. I usually select the imported comics and I change tags -don´t like Comictagger´s tags- and I add Format (Main Series, Crossover, Manga, etc) and Story Arc. I fix the covers, etc.
Comic Example 1:
Series- Buffy Vampire Slayer Season 9
Title- Volume 1/25
Author- Whatever
Published- Whatever
...
...
Tags- Vampires
Format- Finished Series
Story Arc- Buffyverse 45
Series- Buffy Vampire Slayer Season 9
Name- Volume 2/25 (and go on)
Author- Whatever
Published- Whatever
...
...
Tags- Vampires
Format- Finished Series
Story Arc- Buffyverse 45
Etc.
In this case, I know these 25 volumes belongs to Buffyverse (Buffy universe) and I have to read in order 45. There are 44 "things" crossovers, series, whatever I have to read before.
Comic Example 2:
Series- Amazing Spiderman
Title- Volume 530
...
Format- Main Series
Story Arc- Civil War 02
In this case you can read with "Amazing Spiderman" order or "Civil War" order (Fantastic Four 536 would be Civil War 03, etc.)
