What is Following?#
Following lets you subscribe to content you care about. When something you follow has new activity — a new issue drops, a creator is credited on a release, or a podcast publishes an episode — VerseDB can notify you.
What Can I Follow?#
You can follow four types of content:
- Titles — Comic franchises like "Spider-Man" or "Batman"
- Characters — Individual characters like "Miles Morales" or "Harley Quinn"
- Podcasts — Comic-related podcasts tracked on VerseDB
- Users — Other community members
Tip
Following a title is the best way to stay on top of new series and issues across an entire franchise. For example, following "X-Men" covers all X-Men series, not just one specific run.
How to Follow Something#
- Navigate to any title, character, podcast, or user page
- Click the Follow button in the action bar
- The button changes to Following to confirm
To unfollow, click the Following button again.
What Happens When I Follow?#
Depending on what you follow, you may receive notifications about:
| You Follow | You Get Notified About |
|---|---|
| Title | New issues and new series under that title |
| Character | New issues featuring that character |
| Podcast | New episodes |
| User | Reviews and lists they publish |
Note
Notifications are delivered via email, push notifications, and in-app alerts. You can customize which channels you receive in your notification settings.
Where Can I See My Follows?#
Two places:
- My Following — Your personal dashboard at My Library → Following. Search, filter by type, and unfollow from here.
- Your Profile — Other users can see what you follow on the Following tab of your profile page.
During Onboarding#
When you first create an account, the onboarding wizard asks you to follow publishers and creators. This personalizes your experience and helps surface relevant series recommendations.
