Talk:Finder (comics)

message: AlainV - I replaced your edit--
:McNeil's spin-off series or sub-series (they are still numbered within the Finder progression when they are first issued) are Mystery Date and Talisman.  They follow the life of two other characters in the same world as Finder.

:McNeil's spin-off series Mystery Date follows the life of another character in the same world as Finder.
The thing is, the first two issues of Mystery Date were issued as Mystery Date #1 and #2, not Finder #anything - that's why I described it as a spin-off series.  Those two haven't been collected yet.  The third part of the story did appear in the main series, as Finder #31, but I'm not sure how to explain that in the article without being really confusing.  As for "Talisman", the only thing that distinguishes it from the other named story arcs is that it's narrated by Marcie rather than Jaeger ... but Jaeger appears even less in "Dream Sequence".  Sorry about the nit-picking... --Hob 06:43, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

text: OK, write whatever you think is right (and what you said about Mystery Date continuing in #31 is exactly what I just said above), but I'm still confused as to why you think "Talisman" is a special case in any way: all of the story arcs so far have been published as separate TPBs, and the characters in Talisman aren't at all separate from the rest of the series.  As for the horror comics, I think the reference would need more context to be clear - unlike the Moebius influence, it's not really a connection you can understand just by looking at the art, without the explanation she gives in the interview. --Hob 00:35, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: ChrisGriswold "moved Finder (comic) to Finder (comic book series) .." and then "moved Finder (comic book series) to Finder (comic book): WP:CMC naming conventions)." 
However, at the moment WP:NCCom (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (comics)) says: "Conventions to use
#Use the name itself (e.g. Green Arrow) unless that leads to ambiguity, in which case...
#Follow with "(comics)" (e.g. Love and Rockets (comics)) unless that leads to ambiguity, (........)"
(I omited conventions 3 and 4 because I as far as I can tell "Finder (comics)" doesn't lead to ambiguity) My interpretation of WP:NCCom is that the Finder article should be at "Finder (comics). What do others think? --EarthFurst 22:29, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Talismancover.jpg

message: Folks, I just attacked the page again - The opening sections seemed too dry (see, the economic system is like this, and incidentally Carla's business model is...) so I tried to move everything until after the characters section if it couldn't be related more to the story.  I don't think one has to get POV to edit the piece with an eye to wanting to bring out what's so damned cool about Finder and to draw people in.  The "Authenticity and freedom" thing may be my emphasis, that's perfect to change (as everything is, obviously) but I did want to bring out reasons why the sci-fi setting, the aborigines, the clans, etc, are interesting to the story, so that section wouldn't read to non-fans like flight-deck schematics of the 'Enterprise'.  With Rachel's mounting discoveries of how privileged she is in A Voice, I don't think we can discuss the clan system without reference to the basic themes of the cities being really injust and everyplace being really dangerous, with people who don't really see it because, after all, do we?  I separated the themes section since having it before we meet the characters doesn't make sense and makes the comic sound like a disease-of-the-week special.  Themes that come up in the characters and settings sections could reasonably be re-introduced in the themes section which is a bit thin, but they shouldn't, I think, be removed from the characters and settings sections. 
Okay, I edited bold like they told me to, though I don't think I removed any information that I didn't move somewhere else.  I hope I didn't offend, and happy editing or reverting (please no!) or whatever. :^)
