:Re: Roll Calls. Is there a set preference for listing the order of the Legionnaires? I noticed in the entries for Adv. # 300 and 301 that they were listed in order of appearance. I can arrange my lists that way, if desired, but it seems to me that a more useful approach would be to list the Legionnaires in order of story importance. Granted that this approach is somewhat subjective -- i.e., there is no reason to list Projectra before Karate Kid, other than that is how they're listed on the cover -- but it would eliminate the need for counting panel appearances for each character (unless someone really wants to do that. :)) (I do think that very minor appearances should be noted, as in the case of Violet and Chem in this issue, so their fans don't get their hopes up.)

Revision as of 05:08, 4 August 2007
I deliberately left a few holes in this shell to give you the opportunity to try playing with the issue template. Try using Adventure Comics 328 as an example for filling in the blanks. If you need to look up issue data, a couple of good websites are The Grand Comics Database or DC Indexes. If you're not inclined to fool with the non-synopsis portions for now, I'll fill in the blanks this evening or early tomorrow. -- Gopher 02:16, 3 August 2007 (PDT)
- As you can see, I've added a Roll Call list and first appearance notations. I can edit the information in the box, as well (adding credits and so forth), but I don't see how to do it.
