For the record, I will note that this was an ''article talk page'', and it grew ''in a largely top down fashion'' over the course of ''years'' that was later moved to a forum thread to better archive it. It is '''''wholly disanalogous''''' to a thread this large and convoluted taking place in the span of three weeks. This is not to say the rest of the ruling on the speedround in general being Kosher is wrong, merely that this is a '''really''' bad comparison for the purposes of why people were hesitant towards this thread.

: That's fair. Indeed, it's fair enough that I'm going to edit this caveat into the thing as a footnote. Though yes, I stand by the idea that a Speedround is a sound idea in principle even if this one got too big.

== How to handle Death's Head ==
So, now the 2019 Death's Head mini-series has been validated, I wanted to discuss a couple things on how to approach it. [[User:Scrooge MacDuck]] in his closing post called the story ''The Bo(d)y in Question''. However, this is actually just used in the first issue. The second issue has the title ''Clone Drive'', the third is unfortunately unnamed, and the fourth is ''Jailbreak''. However, I also found that ''Clone Drive'' was used as the title for the story as a whole in the graphic novel collecting these issues, and so I think that's the best name for the story.
Also, the 1988 series will need some updating, as the abbreviation for the issues is DH. Issues 6, 9 and 10 (in addition to 5 and 8) are now eligible to be covered as well due to appearances of [[Keepsake's vulture]]. (The stories themselves were already valid as part of ''[[The Incomplete Death's Head]]''. I do find it a bit annoying we don't cover the other issues whose stories themselves are valid, but such was the ruling.) Therefore, my proposal is to have the following pages:
* [[Death's Head (1988)|''Death's Head'' (1988)]]
** [[DH88 5]] (''[[Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling! (comic story)|Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling!]]'') (currently [[DH 5]])
** [[DH88 6]] (''[[Sudden Impact! (comic story)|Sudden Impact!]]'')
** [[DH88 8]] (''[[Time Bomb! (comic story)|Time Bomb!]]'') (currently [[DH 8]])
** [[DH88 9]] (''[[Clobberin' Time! (comic story)|Clobberin' Time!]]'')
** [[DH88 10]] (''[[The Cast Iron Contract (comic story)|The Cast Iron Contract]]'')
* [[Death's Head (2019)|''Death's Head'' (2019)]]
** [[DH19 1]], [[DH19 2]], [[DH19 3]], [[DH19 4]]
** [[Clone Drive (comic story)|''Clone Drive'' (comic story)]]
* [[Death's Head: Clone Drive (graphic novel)|''Death's Head: Clone Drive'' (graphic novel)]] (reprints above 2019 issues)
Also if I'm gonna list pages that should be made, the 1988 stories were reprinted in 2020 in a graphic novel called ''[[Death's Head: Freelance Peacekeeping Agent]]''. Lastly, should there be concerns about the actual ''coverage'' of these stories (which I think there may be), it's probably better to have that discussion on the story's talk page.
