We'll definitely always try and have a separate method to perform anything
with a right click. :D

I like it - seems simple and clear.
Just with context / right click options (when /if they’re introduced) I’d
rather they were avoided - or have alternate ways of accessing the menu.

Unread is a good addition to the dropdowns. I'll include that. And, yes, a
simple click is how you'll open the dropdowns. Right clicks would only be
for context menus, everything else should be left click only.
Here are some screenshots of what I've put together just to poke at it:

Don't focus too much on the colors, those are relatively easy to change
with a new color scheme.

A couple of thoughts – I’d add a “Unread” filter to the Comics dropdown
entries.
Ideally menu items won’t rely on a right-click to open them – this would
primarily benefit iOS users, where right-clicks aren’t always possible –
especially in iPad browsers and such.

Oh, that came across all wrong... Let me try again:
[CX LOGO] | [v] Comics | [v] Reading lists | [v] Collections |
[v] Help | [HAMBURGER MENU]

Sitting watching TV this afternoon and I had some ideas for the app
layout that I wanted to share with you. I'll to do an ASCII drawing
of it, but that's likely not going to give a great first blush, so
please use your imaginations as well. :D
I'm thinking about CX as a cross between iTunes for digital comics,
and a library website with "checkouts". So I skimmed a few library
websites to see what they do, and it gave me this idea:
The toolbar at the top of the screen would look like this:
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
| **** * * |
| ===== |
| * ** | [v] Comics | [v] Reading Lists | [v] Collections
| [v] Help | ===== |
| **** * * |
| ===== |
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------+
where each [v] is a dropdown item.
For "Comics" the dropdown entries would include "Newest", "Recently
Read" and a toggled "Stacked" option to show comics either stacked or
individually.
Under "Reading Lists" would be all of the user's reading lists, with a
top option of "Add new list...".
Under "Collections" would be "Publishers", "Series", "Characters",
"Teams", "Locations" and "Stories".
Under "Help" would be "Build Details".
The left-most section is the hamburger menu, where we would add
options like "Login", "Logout", "User Options" and "Admin Options".
Oh, and that thing on the left is my attempt at doing an ASCII logo
that says "CX".
What do you think of that as a first pass for a better toolbar?
