Use Marvel API to retrieve data #57

Closed bpepple closed 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Marvel provides an api with more data (like cover image, character bios, etc), that would make it easier to add issues from Marvel.

Describe the solution you'd like Write a django custom management command to retrieve data from Marvel.

Additional context Need to look into whether this use meets their terms of service, but may be worthwhile to pursue since they provide more data than the ShortBoxed api.

Looks like there is a python wrapper for the Marvel api that might work well: PyMarvel

PyMarvel has been abandoned, but Marvelous looks like it is maintained, tho it's unclear what license it is released under.
