Download comics based on Event

Post by Spartan304 »

Not sure if this would even be possible but it would be cool if we could download comics based on their event they belong to. For example the upcoming Secret Wars comic is going to have several tie-ins and one shots it's going to be a pain to try and figure out what to grab so it would be totally awesome if we could just tell Mylar "Download everything for Secret Wars" and it grabs them and puts them in a "Secret Wars (2015)" folder.

Well that's pretty much what the Reading List option does. You give it an arc (or event, really same thing) and mylar will track it like it was an actual series on your watchlist.

The only thing it doesn't so atm is automatically track issues (meaning you have to click on search as it doesn't maintain a Wanted list like the normal Wanted list), but it does download, post-process and move them into an arc(event) folder of the same name.

The problem with the Secret Wars event is that they have her to release an actual reading order - I've seen some, but it's not in any order and it was far from complete at that time.

If comicvine tracks the event (it would be a story arc on there), then going to the Reading List Management page and searching for Secret Wars might be enough to get things started.
