Anthology vs Anthologies
The reason why I hesitated to call Next issue Project a "series of anthologies" is two-fold. First, none of the issues constitute a separate series per se. Second, I would hesitate to call each issue an anthology. They mimic the structure that was an industry standard during the Golden Age of Comics. We certainly don't refer to Action Comics #1 or Marvel Comics #1 an anthologies, yet both titles had a number of features from several different genres, just like the original incarnations of Fantastic Comics, Crack Comics and Speed Comics. I don't see why the current-day incarnations should be different. --Strannik 23:59, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, a lot of the articles do (Mystic, Marvel Super-Heroes, All Winners Comics, Strange Tales, to name a few), and of these multi-character comics not already labeled -- factually -- as anthologies need to be.
- A "series" of things doesn't refer exclusively to an ongoing comic-book title: "A series of murders," "a series of how-to books," or, in this case, "a series of anthologies" --Tenebrae 00:46, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- It may just be that they didn't even bother flagging them back there but they should be listed as a comics anthology if they are a single comic with a number of stories within it. Anyway nothing is set in stone. If it turns out what they are doing aren't strictly speaking anthologies then we can change it. (Emperor 01:24, 20 August 2007 (UTC))
