The term micro-series is confusing with mini-series. My LCS owner messed me up telling me the individual turtle ONE SHOTS were four mini-series because of lack of familarity with the term and I was not familar with it either. Why not lable one issue as one shot?

A mini-series can be any length but if I am not mistaken 2-7 is called mini-series while 8 -12 or more of a limited series is considered a mazi-series. Crisis on Infinite Earths is a maxi-series while Infinite Crisis at seven issues of the core series is a mini-series.

For me it truly depends on what the story is being told. Is it something that i think can take up three issues or six issues? I personally would like to see mini-series last six no more no matter the story size.
