I would appreciate your feedback on a new affiliate website I've made that lists all comics available from Amazon: Universe of Comics at http://www.universeofcomics.com/
There are thousands of comics and graphic novels on Amazon, but it isn't very easy to search by title, author or publisher. For instance when go to Publisher only the top eight are listed, not including Gemstone Publishing.
Here is a page on my site showing all publications by Gemstone in 2007 sorted by publication date:

I am not sure how your site works (since it has to perform a search too), but this is a GREAT idea, Arthur, and I like the site's design (the mouseover pop-up for displaying the details is pretty handy).
This will be extremely useful to know what and when to order, without having to search for everything regularly, on the web and on amazon: the one-shots or new titles (Spring Fever or World of The Dragon Lords), the EC Archives (the schedule).
I have just tested it with "Batman" and "EC Archives"; the automatic form-filler droplist is a nice feature, and so are the various sorting options.
Thanks a lot!

PS:
I have not seen any message on the DCML regarding this site: has it not reached the list yet, or have you not posted there yet?

Thanks for the comments Olivier.
I wasn't planning on posting it on DCML.
The way the site works is that I use Amazon's API XML feed to import all their comics in my database. This feed works with all their products, and I'm only taking the comics. The feed contains most of the information that is on Amazon.com, including reviews and product information, and there are also fields for author, publisher, etc. Obviously I need to refresh my database regularly to keep the information updated on my site.

So you really tap into them then sort it all out, rather than search for things, is that it? Clever.
I'm sure DCMLers will be interested; I can see saving a lot of time thanks to this. I will check the Gemstone list regularly, and use it for non-Disney comics as well.
