The Comic Book Bin is a LARGE site with several thousand’s articles. Yet, finding your way around and locating a specific article is fairly easy and quick.

The Main Topics
There are seven main sections on the site. They are, Comics, Action Figures, Movies, Games, Fan Films, Interviews and Books . Within each of these categories, there are subcategories with more specific examples. For example, in the Comics, you will find reviews, news, columns and more. A similar organization is found in other sections. Each main section is an index of the most recent articles posted in these categories. These indexes are similar to the main page of the Comic Book Bin which itself, is an index of the most recent articles from all categories.
Although a limited number of articles are on display in each indexes, by clicking the "Next" link at the bottom of each page, you can view older articles. It is often useful to locate articles published recently. In general, articles stay on the main index of the Comic Book Bin no more than one week, as they are pushed further down the list.
Comics
In the Comics, there are sections dedicated to news from the comic book industry, and columns. Within the Reviews, you will find four subsections covering DC Comics, Marvel Comics, comics books from various publishers and back issues. Both DC Comics and Marvel Comics have dedicated reviews’ category because they publish more books than other publishers and because there are generally more reviews covering their comic books.
The column section contains many subsections. Some of the columns feature only one author, such as Leroy's Mr Charlie and Philip's Thought Bubbles. Sundry articles related to comics are usually inserted in the Spotlight category.
Euro Comics feature reviews and feature articles on European comic books by several authors. Sometimes, these books are translations, sometimes, they are the original versions’ Non-English languages.
The Manga subsection, of course, couvers Mangas, but also manwhas from Korea, and other Asian comics. It also covers titles created in the West but in the Manga tradition. Another column is Comics 101 where people new to comics, researching them or parents can find out much about them.
Articles and reviews of comics created by Canadians or Canadian publishers are found in the Canuck category. The comics featured can be published in English or French, Canada's official languages. The Comic Book Bin offers this to Canadian creators because it is a Canadian Web site after all. Also Canadian comics are often lost in the North American or European jungles.
Movies
The Movies section has three main subsections, the Movie News, the Movie Reviews and the DVD Reviews. The Comic Book Bin covers more than movies related to comic book properties. In fact, The Comic Book Bin often reviews films that mainstream sites just ignore. Pay attention to this section if you're a dedicated lover of film.

Action Figures
In the Action Figure section, there are four main subsections related to the three main action figure lines covered and reviewed at The Comic Book Bin. These are DCDirect, Toybiz and Street Fighter. The DC Direct subsection is about toys produced by the merchandising division of comic book publisher DC Comics.
The Toybiz subsection contains action figure reviews by Toybiz, the toy making arm of Marvel Enterprise, owner of Marvel Comics. Toybiz creates many toy lines, some of which are licenses from other properties, such as Lord of The Rings. The main lines covered in the Toybiz subsection are Marvel Legends and Marvel Select. Marvel Legends and related action figures about Marvel Comics characters’ six inch action figures line. Toybiz, in collaboration with Diamond Select has created a new line called Marvel Select. Marvel Select are seven inch action figures on Marvel Comics' characters.

The Toy Store of the Comic Book Bin is also listed in the Action Figure category. We sell a limited numbers of DC Direct and Marvel Legends action figures. These are often action figures that are sold out elsewhere or prized collectors' items. We ship all our products through Fedex and provide a tracking number. In the past, we have shipped figures to American servicemen located overseas, to Europe, Australia and of course, the continental USA and Canada. Our shipping charges are approximations.
Fan Films
A new section is the Fan Films category, where we cover various
independent films, often inspired by existing properties, but produced
with a low budget. Because there is so much to cover, we've split that section into Fan Film News, Fan Film Theater, where we show video clips of fan films and Fan Film Reviews.
Our Fan Film section is quite rich and is probably one of the best resource on the topic on the Internet, thanks to other sites who also help out with contents.
Books
Our Book's Category is about any book or magazine that is of interest to our readers.
