So, getting to work from home during the pandemic, one of the things I got to work on was sorting all of the piles of comics around the house, so now I mostly know where all my comics are within the short boxes and long boxes. Had the pandemic not happen, I doubt I'd ever have the time and opportunity to sort through everything and put all in an order that made sense to me.
In order to make the contents in the boxes "static", and I basically divided various publishers into time frames, like for Marvel, I went with pre-2010, 2010-2017, and 2017-current day, so I wouldn't have to keep shuffling books around if kept in solely alphabetical order. For DC, I went with pre-New52, New52, and Rebirth. For Image, went with 1992 to around 2015, and then 2015 to current day, did also split off the Wildstorm/Homage/Cliffhanger line the same way. Valiant was 1992-2012, 2012-2017, 2017-now, the Indies were also split into older than 2015, and 2015-current day. Seems to make the most sense. Hopefully I don't regret it. But it's been a little at a time for the past 3-4 months. Also got a work out moving those long boxes full of comics on some days.
