It was sort of arbitrary, but I did ask people for feedback when I first floated the idea.
But it's not too late to change it obviously. It's tough to find a clean place to cleave the set in two because the change to more humorous characters happens with 62 & 63 and then bam Spectre is back for one last hurrah and then were back to Infinity Five again.
If we want to just go by the numbers 52 is the absolute half-way point, 60 is also a nice place to split, except 61 again is Spectre. So I put it to the board, where could the split be - is 64/65 the right place, I don't know.
That's why I was asking if Showcase #88, February, 1970 was considered the 1st Bronze Age issue. I was wondering if maybe that was a more logical place to split the set.
To be honest it's very self-serving of me to want it to split at 61/62. I don't want to have to go through the pain of trying to complete the second half, which is arguably as tough as the 1st part albeit less costly to assemble.
But maybe we should rethink this and even have a vote or poll if enought members actually care about this that is. Thoughts?
