As much as I loved both X-Men and Spider-Man when they first aired, I see a lot of their flaws in hindsight. The struggle to deal with massive casts of characters and often unwieldy “inspired by the comics” storylines didn’t always bother young Cartoon Sara, but they’re tough to ignore today. Time is seldom kind to computer graphics of the past and Spider-Man’s CG cityscapes haven’t aged well. Some of the worst animation caught my attention even back then and it’s even harder to watch today, ranging from passable to “This downshot of two characters walking is making my eyeballs scream” with some scattered moments of quality along the way. It didn’t help that Batman: The Animated Series came out around the same time, making X-Men and Spider-Man look all the more like textbook examples of the hard-to-animate character designs that Batman was rebelling against.

This time around, I’m making good progress and hoping to get 4,000+ comics sorted, cataloged, and put away in a system that can continue to house our future purchases.
If you’re considering a similar comics sorting project - big or small - here are some of the questions I’ve had to ask myself as I work to get the collection under control.
