Okay, I realize we don't have natural lists like you're trying to create here, but I have some criticism and/or suggestions:


 * While some authors have long runs with many story arcs (i.e. Grant Morrison, Scott Snyder - hence, why they have their own "Grant Morrison's Batman" type pages) the vast majority of cases are going to be single runs, which encompass one storyline. For example, you have "Frank Miller Run" there, and I'm like "That's Year One. Everyone knows it as Year One." By calling it "Frank Miller Run" you're almost burying the lede. Not to mention that we do have Storyline pages, and we tend to organize character histories according to story arc, not author - seems like it would be more consistent to do that here.
 * While your changes seem like improvements to the overall concept, I feel like I have issues with the concept itself, in that I don't think that volume pages should be organized by author by default. The ideal would be some kind of table you could sort or filter according to creative team, and that's not really do-able here.
 * Alternatively, briefly listing the creative team next to the issue (w. Paul Dini; p. Dustin Nguyen) might be more like what we're looking for, but gets real nasty with anthology issues, which I don't imagine you would have bothered to give this treatment anyway. And honestly, not being able to apply one formatting to all books makes the concept unappealing.
 * We do have tools to do similar things to what you're doing.
 * We have the Author categories, like Len Wein/Writer, which list off all the issues a creator has written (if the list is alphabetized, there's a good chance it's also sorted by series according to issue number).
 * We have AdvSearch2, which can be used to crossreference categories. For example, a cross-reference search between Chuck Dixon/Writer and Batman Vol 1 returns a gallery of Batman Vol 1 issues written by Chuck Dixon. You can use it on a sandbox page, like I have there.
