Get ComicConverter

Well you may have guessed by the pictures I posted I really 😍 love reading comic books. It's sad but true 😁 and now that is over and done with lets look at a comic that is a great bedtime read for your kids 😲

# Nuget Package 📦

Again off I went to nuget.org to see what goodies could be made into awesome Powershell modules. See when building something for the Powershell gallery you kind of have to see if it has been done before, and if it has, does that mean it will be worth while? So I pretty much know all my Universal Dashboard modules were unique so that's cool, and thankfully for me, it doesn't seem there are many other comic fans out there, but I did find

So at least I had something to work with. Sure enough checking the Powershell gallery yeilded zero results. Off I went constructing this .CS file to include every possible conversion method this package offered

I know this is probably not the most effective use of C# to get the job done, but it all works, which in my book is a win.

# Powershell Gallery 😍

After doing some tests on various comics I own I was able to verify that this all works, but sadly is probably not that useful to most of the community. On the plus side this is a world exclusive first comic book module to the Powershell gallery
