Issue Number[]

The indicia lists this comic as issue #2. In fact, the First five issues are numbered 2,3,4,5,5. Yeah, they had two issues both numbered 5. TheDissilent (talk) 16:28, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

As odd as that is, I'm going to point out that we can't really rename the articles; we can't have two different articles named Human Torch Comics Vol 1 5. --Spencerz (talk) 16:36, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

If that is the numbering keep it. Rename them 2, 3, 4, 5 and 5 (ii) (for example) (Fumnov (talk) 17:03, May 22, 2013 (UTC))

I agree, there has to be some way of making it work, and (ii) seems like a great way to do it. We can't just make up our own numbering, because the way Timely did it is inconvenient for us. Can we? --TheDissilent (talk) 17:30, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps a "Vol 1 5 (I)" and a "Vol 1 5 (II)" would work. I don't really know of any other options other than that, or leaving the titles as is. This isn't exactly a problem we've had before. --Spencerz (talk) 09:44, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Whatever is decided, something needs to change. The fact that Marvel wikia starts this vol with #1 is wrong when there is no #1. It makes the timeline confusing because it lists #1 in the reading order when the actual comic is #2. This in turn throws off all the following issues. I would like to suggest starting at #2 like they actually do. For the problem with two #5's I would suggest #5 (summer) and #5 (fall), that would correspond with the covers as well.

I could've sworn we took care of this. One of our Admins looked at the issues and found that the indica listed the issues as 5a and 5b. I thought we moved them to the right one, but I guess not. I'll see about getting the bot on this. --Spencerz (talk) 06:14, April 19, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think 5a and 5b was in the indicia, probably just 5, twice, mistakenly repeated. 5 (Summer) and 5 (Fall), is not a bad idea. (Fumnov (talk) 07:16, April 19, 2014 (UTC))

All fixed.

Happy Dance. I like the 5 (Summer) and 5 (Fall) to distinguish them. There does seem to be an issue with the display of Human Torch Comics Vol 1 4.jpg though. It's still showing the old version on the pages that link to it, even though when you click on the pic, it shows the updated version.
