I'd like to chime in to agree. That would be phenomenal. It's an incredible pain in the butt having to track down all of the disparate issues yourself to these huge crossover events
ComicRack scrapes "Story Arc" already into Alternate Series or Story Arc (or you can do it yourself), and it would be great to be able to click on "Blackest Night" and get all of the comics pulled from that field. Preferably sorted by Publication Date, but that might be too much. (There's no way that you could know that the recommended order for Blackest Night is: Green Lantern 43, Tales of the Corps 1-3, Blackest Night 0-1, Green Lantern Corps 39, etc, but Publication order would get it close)
I only set up a Ubooquity server last night (but I'm loving it so far!), so haven't looked into how your saving the metadata that you read... or for that matter what Metadata you even pull. But it would be nice to have options like:
Comics Recent Comics Special Views: -> View by Story Arc -> View by Character (also in comicinfo.xml if scraped by ComicVine) -> View by Writer ... etc.
But that's just because I love playing with Metadata. :-)
But it's probably a bit of a stretch in general since I don't think you're connecting to a MySQL server or anything as a backend.
