12/10/2016 Topic: Direct Edition vs Newsstand Edition iron_puppy	I think they could be listed seperately as they do show a difference, but it can get messy with some books as there were also U.S. direct and Newsstand and Canadian Direct and Newstand. Some show only the U.S. or Canadian prices, some have both. Is it worth it?

12/15/2016 Topic: Canadian Ninja - First of Six Limited Issues iron_puppy	Awesome find! Did they finish the series? I so want to find this for myself... Stephen
1/1/2017 Topic: Spider-Girl: A Fresh Start iron_puppy	Before I add this to the list of items I've scanned to be added on the "missing comics/to be added" forum I thought I'd see if maybe I just couldn't find this listing. The cover and spince call it Spider Girl: A Fresh Start and the inside says it "Contains material originally published as #1 & #2." It was published in 1999 but is not listed with the Spider Girl run from that period. Ideas?
1/6/2017 Topic: Spider-Girl: A Fresh Start iron_puppy	Awesome! Thanks!
1/19/2017 Topic: Typo for Kraven's Last hunt iron_puppy	I just went to enter my TPB of Kraven's Last Hunt and it took a lot of searching. I finally found it by searchign all Spiderman tites as it does not come up with Kraven's Last hunt. This is where computer searches can be picky, as it is entered as Kravens Last Hunt, not Kraven's Last hunt. The missing apostrophe makes it fail in searches. Could one be added?
1/19/2017 Topic: Dark Crystal Creation Myths separated iron_puppy	Just going through more of my stuff and noticed in the CPG book I of Dark Crystal: Creation Myths is under Dark Crystal, Jim Henson's, while vol 2 and 3 are under Dark Crystal: Creation Myths. "Creation Myths" is part of all three cover titles and how they are listed on the inside. I think all three shold be in the same section in the CPG.
1/19/2017 Topic: Typo for Kraven's Last hunt iron_puppy	Good advice, I can do that from now on.
1/19/2017 Topic: Dark Crystal Creation Myths separated iron_puppy	Ok, I get the separation then. However, the title is the same on all editions so maybe should all be the same on the site. That's what confused me.
1/19/2017 Topic: Jim Henson's The Storyteller listed twice iron_puppy	I went to add my softcover copy of Jim Henson's The Storyteller and found that title listed twice, once with no listing inside, so I assume a repeat. However, the one with a listing only has a hardcover. There is a softcover listing simply under The Storyteller" which I think might be the right one, just with only a partial title. No scan's so I'm guessing. If this is correct I can send in a picture of my soft cover.
1/19/2017 Topic: Sandman trades with switched picture iron_puppy	I noticed that the softcover editions have a photo switched. 5A has the correct picture, for "A game of you" but 5 has the pic for "Fables and reflections". #6 has the picture for A game of you but should have the one for "Fables and Reflections".
1/19/2017 Topic: Avengers Disassembled: Thor iron_puppy	I found the Avengers Disassembled: Captain America and Iron Man but can't locate the Thor tpb. It is called "Avengers Disassembled: Thor" on the inside by the ISBN number as well as the cover. I tried looking under Thor and a few combinations but couldn't locate it.
1/20/2017 Topic: Avengers Disassembled: Thor iron_puppy	Thanks for the reply, but I can't get the link to open. Is there a reason the other "Avengers Disassemebled" trades are listed under their own titles but the Thor one isn't? The inside cover has all the "Disassembled" trades listed with their ISBN numbers and none have volume numbers. If you want to check the Thor one is listed as "Avengers Disassembled: Thor" ISBN 0-7851-1599-4. Year of publication is 2004.
1/20/2017 Topic: Serenity The Shepherd's Tale iron_puppy	When locating the hardcover graphic novel for Shepherd's Tale I found it under Serenity. vol one as the third in a series of editions, but it wasn't. I don't know how many other people may have had trouble finding this, but Serenity the first mini series was one story, yet in the Hard cover listing it lists "Better Days", which was a sepereate mini series, then collected in it's own trade. But Shepherd's Tale was never a mini series and published as a Graphic Novel with it's own original story. It does say inside the cover the it is "Serenity, volume three, The Shepherd's Tale", but it's the third story, not part of the rest. Here is ISBN 978-1-59582-561-2. I checked it and it was only an Original Graphic Novel.
1/21/2017 Topic: Serenity The Shepherd's Tale iron_puppy	Great, Thanks!
1/29/2017 Topic: Adding writers, etc. iron_puppy	I am trying to contribute to CPG while I have time, but the "adding" sections seems awkward. Adding publication dates works easily, but when I try to add an artist or writer (anyting from the second list) after I have selected a person it just says they have been added to my list, but don't appear on the issue like the publication does. Is there another step? I have quite a lot I'd like to add (including more titles and publishers and corrections) but this is a good place to start while the list of "Comics to Add" gets worked through... it does get worked through right? I have reached my ten-item limit and am waiting for more to be completed before sending in more.
1/30/2017 Topic: Adding writers, etc. iron_puppy	The main question I had was how to add writer/creative notes to comics. The date/price etc. goes up immediately, but the other stuff seemed to need another step which I seem to not understand. As for the adding new comics, it's the approval that I'm waiting for. And yes, I've been a paying member for a few years.
