I think it depends. If we want people to be able to say "Action Comics no. 1" then I guess we go with "issues"--but my feeling is that we should go with the "novel" angle and require people to pick a whole series. Meaning that if you choose "Superman" then you get the Crisis on Infinite Earths, but you have to also take him marrying Lois Lane in multiple dream sequences in the 1950s. You get the bad with the good.
I would have advocated a second poetry category--I worry that people will rebel, but I definitely have ideas for that.
Also, will we have a Canadian category? I'd like one, if not.
