− | + | ##A five (or six) comic series released over one and a half month from September 2005. The very first comic on xkcd was named [[1: Barrel - Part 1]] showing that there were more than one in the series, and the next four parts (as well as [[20: Ferret]] belonging to the series) where released within 2 months of each other. The normal schedule was not in place at that time, and the first two parts where [[:Category:First day on LiveJournal|released on the same day]] on [[LiveJournal]], and they were not released in the order they are shown on [[xkcd]] today, as the order of comics where changed from [[:Category:Comics posted on livejournal|that on LiveJournal]] when xkcd.com went live in 2006. So originally Barrel was not the first comic to be released. | |

##A four (or five to seven) comic series released over more than half a year from September 2005 to June 2006. The first comic was [[8: Red spiders]], released on the first day (as with Barrel above), but it first became a series when [[43: Red Spiders 2]] was released two month later with the same title and a number. A month later [[47: Counter-Red Spiders]] came out. The last true comic in the series was [[126: Red Spiders Cometh]] released half a year later. Only those four uses "Red Spiders" in the title. But later Red Spiders where depicted again (as in [[427: Bad Timing]]), but those were call backs to the original series rather than as a true part of the series. | ##A four (or five to seven) comic series released over more than half a year from September 2005 to June 2006.

##A five comic series released over five consecutive days from Monday-Friday at the end of November 2010. It is so far (as of 2016) the last time of six that this occurred. The theme was the same, with five web comic artist making guest appearances on xkcd, so there were no connections between the comics themselves. It is the second time this happened, the first time was the first five day series in August 2006. It was the second of two weeks in a row with series. Both series were made to give Randall some time to cope with his wife’s cancer. Since this comic there has never been released more than three comics in a week. Also until October 2016 with the ''Time traveling Sphere'' there were never to comics directly related which were released in the same week (see below). | ##A five comic series released over five consecutive days from Monday-Friday at the end of November 2010.

− | ## | + | ##A six comic series (as of 2017) released over more than three years between the first [[1363: xkcd Phone]] in May 2014 and the latest [[1889: xkcd Phone 6]] from September 2017. It was first with the release of the second [[1465: xkcd Phone 2]] in December 2014 with the same title and a number 2 that it became a series. Adding a number to a title has been used like this two times before, but it is the first of this kind of series to progress beyond 2, so far all the way to 6. Only in Journal (that went to 5) did the numbering without including "part" progress beyond 2, and that was a true series where the story was connected. This is also what makes this a special type of series in xkcd not seen before, as it is clear that these are a series, but they are not connected as a story. |

##A two comic series released with almost a year between the first [[1253: Exoplanet Names]] in August 2013, and the second [[1555: Exoplanet Names 2]] from July 2014. It was first the latter that with the same title and a number 2 made it into a series. This is the reason it is first listed chronologically here. It was not a series in 2013. Adding the number “2” to make it into a series is like the Well series, and this was the fourth time that happened and so far (as of 2016) the last time. These two comics are not connected as a story, rather the second is an update to the list made in the first, even including most of the first list. In that was this is a special type of series, in someway related to the xkcd phone series above. The first of these two comics came out before the first phone comic, but the second phone comic came before the second of these, thus explaining the chronology. | ##A two comic series released with almost a year between the first [[1253: Exoplanet Names]] in August 2013, and the second [[1555: Exoplanet Names 2]] from July 2014.

##A two comic series released with less than two weeks between them. When the first comic [[1563: Synonym Movies]] was released in August 2015 it was not a series. That was first obvious when [[1568: Synonym Movies 2]] was released later that month. There is no storyline connection between the two, but the idea is the same, showing DVD boxes with real movie titles changed using synonyms. | ##A two comic series released with less than two weeks between them.

This was a very strange release in many ways, and that has been described in great detail in the series category. It was first clear that this was a series with the Wednesday release [[1748: Future Archaeology]] but not from the title which has very little direct relation to the first title [[1747: Spider Paleontology]], but the plot was clearly a continuation of the first comic.
