To add new comics in the right order in this category, use this format on a comic's category section: [[Category:Comics_sharing_name|NAME OF THE SERIES AND NUMBER]]. Replace "NAME OF THE SERIES AND NUMBER" with the actual name of the series and a number, like this: [[Category:Comics_sharing_name|Barrel 1]].
