Comics Database in-depth review
ComicsDatabase currently has a total of 840 different strips or galleries on board, but obviously there are no videos to speak of on this site. There isn't really a free tour to speak of and they don't really give you much in the way of fuller detail about exactly what you get in the members' area either. The members' area is quite well organised though and it is easy to get around the content. Ideally, I reckon the comics could have been categorised into some kind of genre sections, but they are all dated (updates are made daily!) and it is easy to access all of the bonus sites as well.
The best way to check out all these comics is to download them into a .ZIP file rather than clicking through the images one by one - perhaps they could have included a slideshow for each gallery on the site though? The actual sizes of the images depended on the gallery or comic itself and they had been transferred in very good quality indeed, which was pleasing to see.
With the vast majority of websites dealing in animated porn concentrating, nine times out of ten, on the video side of things, the manga and comics out there often get ignored. ComicsDatabase.com, with a very large and constantly growing collection of strips and stories, is doing a very good job of doing its bit for the still image and cartoon. What was perhaps best of all about it though is that it wasn't wholly reliant on Japanese comics and styles in its collection, and that European and American styles actually play the biggest part on this site.
The clash of styles is fascinating but conversely the area where the site falls down is by not giving out the names of the artists or indeed the origins of these comics. I would have been really interested in such information. From comedy British seaside postcard styles to avant garde eastern European cartoons, this really does cover a hell of a lot of ground. Some of the imagery is genuinely disarming, often erotic and usually extremely well realised. It is a very good collection.
