ThermiteFe8 (Nicole) | 18 comments Recently, Case 11 in the Private Iris series was delisted because "standard comics" are not allowed on goodreads.

This ruling, however, doesn't make any sense. All of the issues in the Private Iris series follow the same format - they're roughly 30 page comics aimed at kids. It doesn't make sense that Case 11 should be singled out as "invalid", since it's the same format/structure as all of the other Private Iris cases.

"Individual comics, unless they have an ISBN or ASIN (individual Kindle editions only)" are considered non-book items.

Are these Kindle editions? They do all have ASINs…

Issues 1-11 all have ISBNs - Issue 11 specifically has an ISBN of 9789719477112. But then they switched to ISSNs for seemingly no reason later on

Shim (slimmy) | 3428 comments The records I see on Goodreads do not have ISBNs, only ASINs.

9789719477112 Doesn’t show up on Goodreads.

ThermiteFe8 (Nicole) | 18 comments I know - I don't know where those ASINs were sourced from, however. I do have scans on Internet archive of cases 1-18, which is where my ISBNs are sourced from.

Here is the internet archive link (https://archive.org/details/private-i...)
