I am going to be adding about a half dozen of these to the DB and will be using this thread as a reference.

This link shows all of the comics in the order in which they were done and I will be using a similar numbering system to what we already have. i.e. 3.1, 3.2, etc.

MOTU Mini comics

Thank you!

If someone gets a moment can you look at this CR for me: https://www.comiccollectorlive.com/LiveData/Issue_New_View.aspx?id=dc976058-3aff-40a6-96bf-8c1cd516277a

I have been entering these in the manner of the precedent that was set by whoever added them originally. Series 1 - 1.1, 1.2, etc. Series 2 - 2.1, 2.2 and so forth.

The problem with this one is that it is the 10th book in the 3rd series so should be 3.10. However, when I try to add that it says that the issues is already present. I'm guessing that it drops the 0 and tries it as 3.1 which already exists.

Any ideas?

These are cool, I ran across a booth selling them at Heroescon over the summer. I haven't been an Approver in like 15 years, but what if you put a letter in it?

Ex. 3.1o (letter o, instead of a O).

Does it actually have a number 10 on the comic, or do we only know that it's the tenth issue from internet sources? Also, how many total are in the third series?

No, none of these comics are numbered. They were packaged with the toys (1984) and there were 10 toys in the third wave. The source that I am using is from Fandom, specifically the Wiki Grayskull or the He-Man and She-Ra Wiki. It's the same kind of format that we have with it being user driven. Whoever did the Mini Comics part just assigned numbers to the comics in the waves I guess?

The comics that I have are all dated but just the year, no month. I don't think there was ever intended to be a specific order as each comic is a self contained story and the toys were all dropped at the same time.

When I started adding these I followed the precedent set by whichever Approver added the ones that were already in the DB. It was incomplete, but the issues that were present corresponded to what I found on Wiki Grayskull so I am just assuming that whoever that was might have used the same source.

Nice work.

Personally, I think each year originally should have been given it's own title, by year (MOTU 1982, MOTU 1984, etc.).

Since these aren't numbered, we don't have to be beholden to that. Maybe try 3.11.

Absolutely agree, thought the same thing. Too late to do anything about it now, I guess.

I will try 3.11 and see if that works. Won't be "technically" correct but at least it will be in there.

3.11 was accepted so if that's OK I can live with it.
