Btw, as I'm the primary editor on all of the IDW comics here (including the summaries, etc... just check the histories!) you're welcome to use those summaries, etc over on MB if you so choose. I'm going to be doodling up a summary for "Space Seeds" later today if all goes well &mdash; I just received the issue late yesterday afternoon and haven't had time to do more than give it a crazy-quick skim. Alas. :) -- Sulfur 17:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

The first ("real world") is accessed with a template, such as, and the second (in universe) is a simple link to the year, such as 2007. Thanks for the commentary note though, way cool. -- Sulfur 17:40, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * As yes, forgot about that, and wasn't aware of the template, thanks for the tip. --8of5 17:51, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
