The first issue of Deadpool Team-Up (issue #900) is in the Deadpool volume instead of its own volume. The first issue is called "Deadpool", but issue #2 (which is #899, they count backwards) will be called Deadpool Team-Up. This #900 issue is like issue #0. Issue #899 will be issue #1 of the Deadpool Team-Up series.
Should issue #900 be listed along side the future #899, #898, etc. or should it stay in the other volume?

Deadpool #900 might be in wrong volume
Marvel and voluming is not a fun topic to tackle. They seem to have lost all of their senses in that regard.
Deadpool Team-Up is a new ongoing series. Although the numbering counts down from Deadpool 900, it is a very different series. At first it seemed that Marvel were poking fun at themselves for renumbering volumes (like Incredible Hulk, Daredevil & X-Factor). But now they just seem to be losing the plot completely.
I wonder if we should enter this like Countdown To Final Crisis, where the first issue would be #1 here but we'd add #899 in the title. I dunno...
Maybe you can convience the Comic-Vine programmers to add a field to the Comic Volume table to set allow rendering either ascending or descending? :)
And just for further clarification on opening topic, the indexia did say "Deadpool" on the #900 issue. So it was in the correct location to begin with. I was just a bit confused over where the official volume name came from. I've read over the debate thread (masthead/cover vs indexia vs everything else).
@HaloKing343, that's what I initially thought as well - because of the numbering. But I think this is more of a Deadpool Annual type issue. I think the Team-Up team borrowed the numbering system from the #900 idea and ran with it as a different volume. Although, I do think it would be easier to find it next to #899, #898, etc. but technically, I'd say it should probably go wherever the indexia states.
