Simplify viewing collected issues in TP/HCs
With “stories” being more at the forefront, in order to view and click on the collected issues of a given trade or hardcover, I have to go through a confusing sequence of collapsing the various stories and overview. Sometimes that’s unsuccessful and I’m unsure if you can even see what issues are collected. Scrolling through the pages collected editions is much more cumbersome now than it needs to be.

@sam Keller if you click on the "Cover" image it takes you directly to the single issue.
And within the single issue, if you expand the story, it will say what it is collected in under "Reprinted In" which will then show what collections it is in.
The old UI wouldnt be clear if it showed just a backup story, the main story one out of five stories, or the complete issue. The new UI is more complete, giving more data for all.

For context, I’m using it on mobile.

@Jordan Blanco Here’s an example of what I mean to make sure I’m explaining it clearly.
This Black Panther Complete Collection has the older UI. It lists *just* the collected issues and I can click on it to take me to the page of that issue.
Below is an Avengers by Hickman Complete Collection that’s similar to the Epic you pointed to. “Story” is emphasized over the issue it’s in and when I click on it, instead of taking me to the page for that issue, I just see the credits and characters for that story. I’m looking to see just what issues are collected and be able to click to the page for a given issue, nothing else.
Aside from the issue being easily able to track what issues are collected (“story” is mostly irrelevant to me) having the creator credits in each of the “stories” is just redundant within the context of collected editions. It makes sense for individual issues with multiple stories or collected editions that only collects one story from a given issue, or else it just makes browsing through a collected edition more tedious and confusing.
