Adam Sternberg Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Apologies if this has been brought up before, but how should this book be handled in the database? Red Lanterns 28 is the flipside of Green Lantern (5th Series) 28 https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/item/1131099/1/Green-Lantern-5th-Series-28. On the one hand, it screws up the Red Lantern series numbering to leave it out (especially for any kind of automated hole processing), but on the other, I don't want to get 'double credit" on book value. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Hecht Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Actually, this book is already double-listed in the database. There is a note under the Red Lanterns title that "Issue #28 listed under the title Green Lantern/Red Lanterns #28". And, indeed, there is a title Green Lantern/Red Lanterns in the database dedicated to handling this flipbook issue (it also contains a title note indicating "Serves as issue #28 for both Green Lantern (5th Series) & Red Lanterns". But there is also apparently a listing for Green Lantern (5th series) #28 even though there is a title note for Green Lantern (5th series) stating that "Issue #28 listed under the title Green Lantern/Red Lanterns #28". So it looks like Green Lantern (5th series) issue #28 should be deleted. Unfortunately, I don't think that there is a way to handle this type of situation that would satisfy automated "collection hole" finders *and* not double count the flipbook issue. Now that this topic has been brought up, is there any chance that we can set up an Eternal Warrior/Archer & Armstrong title to handle the similar flipbook situation there for EW #26 and A&A #26? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, Gregory. I was unaware of the combined title set up, and actually discovered the issue (pun intended) when my homegrown hole finder logged Red Lanterns as missing. I'll have to put some thought into the implications. My main question for @Mark J. Castaneda at this point is which is the preferable entry to use, the combined or the GL issue?

The most recent content update deleted the GL issue, so the combined title is the one to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Hecht Posted Wednesday at 21:39 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:39 Bumping this thread b/c A&A @26 and EW #26 are both still listed in the database as separate issues. These are a flipbook and should be handled in the same way as RL #28/GL #28. @Mark J. Castaneda @Peter Bickford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could be so kind, can you send an user submission through the software so our editorial team can add it to our master. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Hecht Posted yesterday at 00:55 Share Posted yesterday at 00:55 The indicia, which is only on the Eternal Warrior side of the comic, states "Eternal Warrior Vol. 1 No. 26 & Archer & Armstrong". There is no issue number in the indicia following "Archer & Armstrong", but both covers (front and backside flip) are marked as issue #26. There is a note on the first page of the A&A story that the EW story should be read first. I will work on getting the submission in. I'll title it exactly as the quoted indicia above unless you instruct me otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
