Here's a video I put on Youtube for anyone interested in using comics thru Advanced Launcher in XBMC.

This is using the Ace skin in Poster View.
The basics of this can be found in the tutorial at the beginning of this thread. The twist here is to have multiple copies of your comics viewer named after each comics series. This allows for the top level menu items to each have their own thumbnail and fanart.
I am using CDisplay for the viewer. In the installation folder for your viewer have a copy of it's EXE named for each launcher. Such as:
Batman.exe, Transformers.exe, X-Men.exe, etc. Adv Launcher will only let you have one set of thumbnail/fanart for each launcher.
Check Comicvine for the naming convention for each series. Some are listed as Volume Two instead of Volume 2. The names have to be exact to get the right results returned.
