Talk:Episode Guide

Since we now have a good mix of tv episodes and comic book issues, should we perhaps change this page to "Story Guide" or something? Just a thought. -- Matt 13:18, 8 January 2008 (CST)

This is much the same discussion that Demonskrye brought up here. Although renaming that category is probably a sensible idea, we need some pretty heavy discussion before we make a change like this here. -- Supermorff 05:04, 9 January 2008 (CST)

I'm generally for referring to list or categories that contain both TV show episodes and comics as "Story (Whatever)" or "(Whatever) Stories". A list that only included TV episodes could still be called "Episode List", where a list of only comics would be "Issue List". But for when we mix the two, "story" seems like a good term that doesn't favor one or the other. -- Demonskrye 06:34, 9 January 2008 (CST)

Particularly for the Disney Adventures stories, which are each less than a single issue. -- Supermorff 07:58, 9 January 2008 (CST)

Episodes Format

I think we need to make a decision on the order of sections in the episode articles so it's consistent in all of them. Continuity, then Tidbits? Or Tidbits followed by Continuity? -- Demonskrye 09:55, 17 January 2008 (CST)

I'd say Continuity then Tidbits. In my experience, Continuity seems to be more story related, while Tidbits often contain references to Out-Universe stuff or C-i-T things or things Greg has mentioned or whatnot. In my opinion, things should be listed on articles in relevance of story and canon. I dunno if that makes sense to you guys, but it is the same logic I used when deciding where the Appearances sections would go. But anyway, I think Opening Line, Synopsis (if any), Continuity, Tidbits, Reviews (if any), Production Background is my preferred order. -- Matt 10:00, 17 January 2008 (CST)

Added "Canon order for the comics" section

After seeing this tweet and this tweet, and since the Kickstarter reprints will be out soon, I thought it might be useful to have a listing of the comics in Greg's preferred canon order, since it sometimes skips between comic series. I also think it's important this section is spoiler-free and refers to the comics by the published issue name/number, rather than the less known interior story titles. -- Lumpmoose 12:18, 26 January 2025 (CST)

I don't think the actual titles spoil much of anything, but I'm ok with referring to them as Gargoyles SLG #1 and such if that does help new readers orient themselves to the reading order. For clarity, since it hasn't really been spelled out elsewhere (or at least in some time), in addition to the episode order by series on this page, we do maintain the published order in the Canon episodes Category Otherwise, a good idea for the reasons you mentioned. Looking forward to those reprints as well! --Pheon (talk) 13:58, 26 January 2025 (PST)

I was more concerned about the series descriptions being spoilery, e.g.

> Picking up right after Here In Manhattan, Demona returns with allies, this time seeking the Three New Keys to Power to conquer the world on a quest that crosses continents as the Manhattan Clan grows more and more desperate to stop her.

Although I know a lot of the comic solicitations revealed even more than that. The story titles aren't how you buy or pick up the book, unless they start putting the titles on the covers. It's not like picking an episode name in Disney+. I didn't know about the Canon episodes Category page. I'd be fine if the idea with this section moves over there. -- Lumpmoose 19:05, 26 January 2025 (CST)
