comma

Hello, everyone, .

I came across the following sentence when I was reading online:

"but I recommend getting the Dragon Boxes as they are more true to the original series, picture wise."

What's "picture wise" there called, a "trailing phrase"?

Thank you.

I've never heard that term; to me it seems to be just an adverbial. (It should be a single word, 'picture-wise', since '-wise' is a suffix, not a word in itself there.)

No, not at all. Fronting adverbials is just a style choice!
