Justice or J2?
Alright, we have Justice vol. 1 abrreviated as J, and Justice vol. 2 as J2. So what do we use for the series J2, the MC2 series about Juggernaut's son? May I suggest using J2 for J2, and changing Justice volumes 1 and 2 to JUSTICE and JUSTICE2?

Re: Justice or J2?
In my MC-2 chronologies (available in archive 77) I used the code JTWO, since J2 was already taken. I don't particularly care which code ultimately gets used, but it does seem a little clearer to me in most cases to reserve numerical digits for volume numbers.

Likewise (and rather anti-intuitively, I'll admit), the code for the book "4" is: "FOUR".michaelyuri wrote:In my MC-2 chronologies (available in archive 77) I used the code JTWO, since J2 was already taken.

How about "MC2J" for J2?

How about "J2" for J2?
In most cases, it makes some measure of sense to spell out things that could cause confusion: "FOUR" for 4, etc.
However, in this case, we've CREATED confusion: there's a book called J2, and an abbreviation "J2", and even though they're letter-for-letter the same thing, they don't refer to the same book!
This would be like having an abbreviation "X-MEN", and hoping that people will know that it refers to "Xavier: Many Erotic Nights", instead of to the much more well-known title that it's actually spelling out.
The J2 thing is bad. Let's change it.
