With a simple update to Comics Template they would be automatically populated with comics where issue was reprinted. This way everything would be done automatically and list (category) of reprints would be always up to date without a need for any maintenance. Though, I guess most of these categories would have only 1 or 2 comics. What if the categories were based on volume rather than individual issue, that way there'd be far fewer of them, but they'd still be a much smaller subset of reprints to check for the autogenerated list and thus take less time to load. There shouldn't be a problem with implementation, but it would require creating a list for every specific issue manually and update it manually as well.

I could probably create an additional template with DPL query that would check pages in these "Reprints of Volume" category, to form a list of reprints for each issue. However, instead of such a workaround method, it is much simpler and more reasonable to directly create categories for each specific issue.
