[edit] Redesign
Ummmm... yeah. I see the rationale behind a lot of the changes, but it adds up to an unholy mess in a lot of ways.

Let's take a look at the box as it appeared on Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do under the redesign.
We have six lines in total, notwithstanding a couple spilling over. Of that:
- Three are bold in their entirety and have dark-pink backgrounds. As a one-line highlight on an open box, as on {{Superherobox}} and {{Superteambox}}, that's fine. When half a claustrophobic box is that way, it's not.
- Of the remaining, cramped, lines, half of each line is bold and the other half are links. This means well over half the box is bolded. Bad.
- There is no consistancy with WP:CMC's other boxen, {{Superherobox}} (973 pages), {{Superteambox}} (103 pages) and {{Supersupportingbox}} (51 pages), all of which are used on far, far more pages than the 27 of this one, hence this one is the one which must fall into line.

[edit] Publisher
Is there a reason why Publisher is the mandatory while all the others are optional? I recently changed it, but SoM changed it back without giving any reason? --Fritz S. (Talk) 10:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- The bottom six or seven (the various writer/artist parameters) need to be optional because there's so many frelling potential combinations possible, and if the book's not currently running, the "As of" needs to be optional too.
- Image/Caption are optional because, well, if there's no image they just take up space (especially if the image was removed by User:OrphanBot and the caption is left)
- Format's optional because it's very badly named - it seems to be used to refer to miniseries/maxiseries/ongoing/etc, when it would make more sense as a reference to whether it's a 32-page stapled comic book, album, prestige format, OGN, etc.
- Date's hard enough to come by that I accept that it might need to be optional.
- No. of Issues... if it's a currently-ongoing series, with one volume only, or an OGN, this is pointless.
- main_char_team - it's concievable that, an OGN especially, would have no ongoing notable characters.
- Whereas publisher is self-evident from the cover (NB: As distinct from copyright holder, from a discussion elsewhere). - SoM 10:50, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Centering?
Can someone fix it so the image is centered? --DrBat 14:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Color
Can we get a different color? - Peregrinefisher 18:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Display
"Colorists", "Inkers", "Letterers" - indeed, anything other than writer and artist - don't seem to be showing up on at least a couple of pages (Preacher (comics) and L.A.W. (comics), for example). Anyone know why? Also, should there be an 'editor' category? ntnon (talk) 02:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
- Fixed... had some over lap in the label/data numbering. And I'd be tempted to shy away from adding "Editor". It already feels like an index with most series, adding the editor(s) plays into that. - J Greb (talk) 02:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

- Thank you.
- You could be right (on the "Editor" front), but I that since the editor's role can be crucial, it might be a worthwhile addition. It shouldn't be a required piece of information, but might sometimes be of note. And/or interesting when it's someone unexpected or not normally known as an editor. ntnon (talk) 07:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Editor
There should be an editor field. Some comics are notable because of their editor and the editor can play a crucial role. I agree with the post above about it not being required but it should be included. I´ll go ahead and do it, if you want to change it back you can. --George D. Watson (Dendodge).TalkHelp 15:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] CSS Inheritance
From what element does Supercbbox inherit its CSS properties? I'm wondering where it's specified that it should be float:right, and where it gets its background color and border properties. I can see by inspecting the Supercbbox table element that it inherits the .infobox class, but I'm pretty sure .infobox doesn't have a float:right specification.
