There are two entries for Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit. There's that title and Gotham City Sirens (3rd Series). According to the indicia, Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit is the proper title. Both entries should be merged under that title.

@Mark J. Castaneda, I wonder if there's an older backup out there with the right cover dates that would make it easier to find the proper values and import them...

If you do decide to upgraded to Pro (I think that has advanced find)
It does.

CAN'T imagine who that was... 😁

@Jeremy S, I've had issues with the 7Zip compression also. Take a look at your RAM usage in Task Manager. Browsers such as Firefox and Chrome tend to be RAM hogs, so consider closing them and other high-usage programs until the compression is done.
I don't have a full solution, but that's been my observation, so hopefully it helps.
Good luck.

This title (https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/TitleDetail.aspx?TitleID=89402&M=1) is incorrectly named. Instead of Fantastic Four Fanfáre, it should be Fantastic Four Fanfare. I've tried to submit this change directly, but I'm posting here as well.

I discovered this is still a problem. These titles (Archie and Friends (2nd Series) and B&V Friends Forever) are still being mis-categorized as individual one-shots. The UPCs and indicias make it clear these one shots are really part of the appropriate series. For example, the UPC for Archie & Friends: Level Up! 1 is 76281622336201911 and the indicia reads "Archie and Friends, No. 1 (#19), June, 2025". These titles are causing several duplications in the database.
FYI, @Mark J. Castaneda
The data updates I'd submitted last week for this have been reverted by this week's update, so hopefully, the updates will be adopted soon.

This should be removed, as it looks to be the same as issue 22/A (both have the same item description of Marvel Universe Connect M Cover)

good catch. we'll adjust
I'm still seeing the mis-capitalized 'DC' as of today (Feb. 22, 2025)

Using version v25.5.1.2236, backup files are disappearing when being compressed. Worse, if automatically saving to cloud, the upload process gets hung (with nothing to upload). However, if I turn off auto-compression, and compress it manually to 7Zip, it works fine. For what it's worth, I do have a recollection of seeing this before, but have no idea how it was corrected.

The various "What If...? Galactus Transformed..." titles are wrong. The indicia for the Hulk title that came out this week is "What If...? Galactus: Galactus Transformed Hulk?" (note the "Galactus:" and the question mark at the end). I've tried to submit a content correction, but I'm posting here as a backup
-
Side note: The cover artist on 1/B is listed as "Mr. Garcin". Is that correct, or should it be "M.R. Garcin"?
-
This title is incorrect. The correct title according to the indicia is Sam Wilson: Captain America. I will edit the title and submit as a correction, but I'm not sure that trick always works, so I'm alerting folks here as well.

Has anyone else noticed how BOTH Mark and Adam used the same "scripted" BS reply
Excuse you? I didn't use "the same scripted BS reply"; i quoted what was stated before, and I invite you to read a reply thoroughly before you attack the person making the comment

Thanks for the feedback. We do our best to describe out all the necessary details for variants; research and our user submissions do help fill in bits we may not have - all that is considered/processed in the indexing style we prefer. The huge challenge for us is the thousands of variants that come out on a monthly basis. With about 85% of comics being a variant of some sort, its super tough to get them all detailed out the way we'd like. Not to mention the publisher data we get from the start don't always have the variant details to begin with ?
Is this why there are some many "skipped variants" in the database (for example, some title one week having 11/A, 11/B, 11/D, and 11/E issues, but no 11/C)? I have to admit that's one of my biggest pet peeves, and I'd almost think it's not worth entering placeholders in the database until they're actually in-hand (but I get that's not practical given the scale of what comes out each week...)
-
I had searched by UPC, but maybe not when I asked the last question. I will update, thank you both.
-
@Mark J. Castaneda, this is still showing up as a unrecognized title for me. Was there a final decision on how it should be cataloged?
-
Just putting my engineering hat on...
Could the value ranges be based on NM value, but the issue in question has a lesser grade (which is reflecting in the other columns)?
-
I didn't (yet) dig it out, but did look it up on GCD. The issue in question is https://www.comics.org/issue/1739387/ (still named Batman Day Special Edition). It's called out there as a reprint of Batman (3rd series) 16 (as Mark surmised), which is here: https://www.comics.org/issue/1671798/#1984648.
One thing I note is that the page count for the story is the same (20 pages), so until I can dig it out of my stacks, I'd wager it is a full reprint.
-
I'd have to dig to find it, but the curious thing is that it WAS in the database under the old title. Seems it may have just been removed rather than corrected as a reprint.
-
After last week's update, it was reported that Batman Day Special Edition was an obsolete title. However, I can't find where the issue (2017) went to. The UPC number is 76194135344900111. A generic online search came up as Batman Day Special Edition 2017, so that's no help.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Greg, I just did that and still nothing. Maybe I need to wait until next week's update?
Adam, How do I do this without a scanner? I typed in the UPC in the search box and it didn't do anything.
What Gregory said! ? If you're not sure the search is working right, you can take a UPC you know is right that's already in ComicBase and copy-paste it into the search box. You should definitely get a hit doing that, and it'll also help confirm the expected format for a UPC
-
Another suggestion is to search for an issue by UPC number, to see if it got under a different title for some reason.

I believe this is a duplicate of The Amazing Spider-Man (6th Series) Annual #1 2024/A and should be removed
Ongoing 7-Zip Compression Issue After Closing ComicBase

Never mind; I've seen it take over 16 hours without completing (and that's with no browsers running), yet if I create the 7z compressed file by "hand", it takes 2 minutes. Something is definitely wrong here (maybe the thread/process priority is too low?)
