Marvel constantly lists items as shipping that aren't and don't. This is a useless item if it doesn't use Diamond's information and as always be careful of spyware. Also this gadget would only truly be useful if it included DC comics. A truly nice utility would be one that monitored Diamond's ship lists and sent you notices of whatever comics you were interested in as being shipped. Of course all of this is unnecessary if you have a subscription folder at your LCS and use Diamond Previews to pre-order your comics!
