## What it is
Mylar3 is a Python-based automated comic book (cbr/cbz) downloader that monitors a watchlist of series and grabs new issues via NZB indexers and torrent clients. It sorts, renames, and metatags downloaded issues and can scan existing libraries for missing issues.

## Use cases
- automatically download new comic book issues
- monitor a watchlist of comic series for new releases
- rename and organize downloaded cbr/cbz files
- metatag comic book files automatically
- scan my comic library and find missing issues
- track comic story arcs and pull lists
- self-hosted comic download automation with SABnzbd and NZBGet

## When to choose
- you want automated, hands-off downloading of comic issues from NZB or torrent sources
- you need post-processing like renaming, sorting, and metatagging of comics
- you want to maintain a watchlist and weekly pull-list monitoring
- you run a self-hosted media automation stack (e.g., alongside Sonarr/Radarr)

## When to avoid
- you only want a comic reader rather than a downloader
- you need legal direct-purchase storefront integration rather than indexer/torrent automation
- you need a lightweight script rather than a full self-hosted web application

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- function: web-scraping, workflow-automation, file-system
