abhijeet — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:58:57 +0000

So you were browsing web and discovered a new fun web comic and decided to go through all the strips from the beginning. Going through its long archive list (if you want to catch up on the previous strips) could be time-taking and uninteresting. ArchiveBinge is a web comics RSS feeds generator which aims to make this task easier. It allows you to create custom RSS feeds for your favorite comics letting you choose the number of strips you want to be delivered each day. It also allows you to set the strip number from where you want to start.

Since this service first takes permission from the comic owner to do what it does, there aren’t a huge number of strips available yet. But it does have some of the most popular web comics and continues to add more strips.

Features

Quickly create custom webcomic RSS feeds.
Choose the days and the number of strips you want to be delivered.
Select the strip number from where you want the delivery to start.
Registration required. Many popular comics available.
