ComicTagger

ComicTagger is a simple software application great for adding metadata information, like comments and WEB links to comic archives. The first launch of the program will display start up tips for usage, and be can disabled by checking a notification box. Also, confirmation to send anonymous information about the program's usage is required, and if you do not agree, just express your choice in this window.

ComicTagger has a nice and simple interface with clearly stated features. The read and modify styles support two main values, "ComicBookLover" and "ComicRank". The two main styles apply for different purposes, one is an internal note for the comic book fans, where he can add notes about his favorite comics, and the other is a more advanced rating method for the comic.

Both methods allow entering data, although, "ComicBookLover" has some fields grayed out that he can not complete, like "Imprint", "Series Group", "Story Arc" and others, limitation that you don't encounter in "ComicRank" mode.

Tabbed data

The information is added into tabs, where data needs to be added about the "Details", "Credits", "Notes" and "Pages" for a specific comic. If you think there is not enough space just switch over to the "Other" tab for more fields.

Comic archives in CBZ, ZIP, RAR and CBR format can be opened using the "Open" button or a keyboard shortcut with the capacity to open a single file or open the folder that contains the data.

Common tags can have removed only the style or specific mode ("ComicBookLover", "ComicRank") tags. The program has support to view the raw tags for both main methods.

If unhappy with the data you have for a comic, just clear the form and use the online search mode. The resulting items in the list will have the option to display number of issues for the series, and a small description for the clicked item.

ComicTagger is a great app for comic book lovers, making their task of managing issues a simple one with fields for most of the main criterias. The program handles easily and did not report crashes during usage.
