Sorry about the missing box, and the nagging "what was in it?" feeling that bugs me in similar circumstances.
I've been using Delicious Library for the DVDs, like DL a great deal overall, and may well attack the books with it as well. Want to get some shelves into the library and do some physical organization of the collections first, though, although I admit that may be simple procrastination on my part.
RPGs I'm going to have to catalog essentially by hand, but may do so into either Delicious Library or LibraryThing. That's a largely static collection, though, and once done is likely to stay generally constant with occasional trickles. LibraryThing I'm currently testing to see if I like it or not.
I don't think either DL or LT address comics particularly well, and while I have just under half the amount you do (call it 9 full long boxes), I don't have an answer for the comics yet past sorting and an ASCII text file. Which would, at least, be better than nothing.
The larger (than the DVDs, although not close in estimated scope to the books) problem of the CDs will be addressed by CDDB and the multiple-drive-rip-to-lossless-format-with-RAID system I hope to build this year. (Currently I do at least have a list of all the CDs in an HTML table online, hosted offsite, and for insurance purposes. I started the list when I had only a hundred or so CDs, and have kept the list up-to-date. )

This metafilter thread on organizing books has more (to me) noise than signal, but some ideas as well.
