Graphic Novel talk:Novel Approach: The Hiro Collection

What to do?
I'm not sure at all about what to do with this novel. It is listed as a real novel on the website, but it has no JPG files, no new content, just a bunch of old graphic novels bunched together. Pretty much like Path to Redemption. Do we have an appearances template? Do we write a summary? Do we create an image category? :S —Radicell 18:51, 10 March 2010 (EST)
- I'd think since it has it's own number, we should have the page. We can't exactly miss a number out (unless the next primatech one is #168). I'd say that at the top or in the notes, point out that it is a collection of previous GNs featuring Hiro, then under the summary leave links to the other main pages for each gn included, with a small summary for the collection in general; eg "Future Hiro and Future Peter help prisoners escape from a detention center. Hiro remembers his past and thinks about his mother". I wouldn't bother with an image category. And I wouldn't count them as an appearance template. I suppose, this is kinda like when NBC showed one episode twice during (i think it was) volume 3 or 4. We wouldn't count that as an appearance, it's more of a recap/filler. —mc_hammark 18:58, 10 March 2010 (EST)
- I wouldn't even put a summary for each of the novels—just a list of the novels that are included in it. I agree, I wouldn't do an image category and I definitely wouldn't do an appearance template. (One difference between this and Path to Redemption is that this novel collection has no new content, as far as I can tell.) Also, I wouldn't change template:currentgn. However, somebody might want to go through and compare the original novels to the novels in this collection to see if there are any differences. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:16, 10 March 2010 (EST)
- There is no link anymore for the Novel Approach on NBC.com. Do we have to keep this Novel collection? —LIMAFOX76 08:42, 16 March 2010 (EDT)

PDF link
- The pdf link provided by NBC doesn't work. They use http://www.nbc.com/heroes/novels/images/Heroes_novel_160.pdf . The regular pattern of http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/images/Heroes_novel_168.pdf doesn't work either. http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/downloads/Heroes_novel_168.pdf (which is the way most of the other GNs run) doesn't work either. Hmm. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:40, 10 March 2010 (EST)
- I can't find this collection at all. The link in the box is opening gn168 (1978) and not 167b (?) —Juba 07:58, 17 March 2010 (EDT)
- It seems to have disappeared. I'll update the page. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:54, 17 March 2010 (EDT)

So...
So, now we will see...

- Week 2: Novel Approach
- Week 3: From the Files of Primatech....
for all the hiatus before volume 6? —Tanderix 04:21, 12 March 2010 (EST)
- It's actually like this:
- Week 1=Primatech 1
- Week 2=nothing
- Week 3=Primatech 2
- Week 4=Novel Approach
- Week 5 will probably bring us Primatech 3. I don't know if there are any other "Novel Approach" compilations planned. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:02, 13 March 2010 (EST)
- It's actually like this:
Appearances
