What If...? Dark: Tomb Of Dracula title correction

Hmm... I see what you mean. The only other newer one that I have is "What If...? Dark: Spider-Gwen" and that one is correct. I can't personally physically verify any of the others.
Looks like this issue may go back a bit though too.
The original Volume 1 of "What If?" is listed as "What If...?" but I'm pretty sure the dots didn't show up until Volume 2. I do have one of each of those so I can check tonight.

That seems like an odd issue. It's been many years since I signed up so I haven't experienced anything like that.
Maybe it's a browser compatibility issue? Seems unlikely, but what are you using out of curiosity?

Finally got around to checking out the What Ifs in my collection.
Volume 1 shows "What If?" (technically, my issue shows "What If? Featuring Captain America")
Volume 2 shows "What If...?"

I've been getting the error too. I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to searching while on the forum page. If I go back to the main home page, I don't seem to have the issue.

I'm a reader and collector as well. I speculate a pinch, but mostly on 1st appearances.

I think it's a little funny how DC did summertime swimsuits, so now Marvel is doing wintertime Ski Chalet, but, you know, also with swimsuits.

It's relative to what other users are doing. If someone else gains more points than you, they rise and you fall. That means you have almost exactly the same points as someone else and are just switching places.

Can confirm.
Issue 1 indicia: Gunslinger Spawn
Issues 2,3,4 indicia: Gunslinger

Looks like they changed the official name after just one issue.

Creator Allias Difficult to Search

Not sure what goes into making a creator searchable, but this one has gotten me a couple times.

Carlos Alberto Fernandez 'Cafu' does not show up when you search for "cafu", but I have discovered it comes up if you include the leading apostrophe " 'cafu".
Also, his full name is Carlos Alberto Fernandez Urbano 'CAFU'.

Just noticed it's the same with Stanley Lau 'Artgerm' - you need that character in front of Artgerm for it to come up in the search.

Creator Name Question

glorkar

So I was verifying data for X-Men Unlimited #25b (https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/x-men-unlimited/25B/phsulps) and was adding the creators to #25a (https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/x-men-unlimited/25/pkppiy) but have a question on one of the colorists.
GCD has her as Jess Ruffner (https://comicspriceguide.com/creators/jess-ruffner), which we have in our system.
But we also have Jessica Ruffner (https://comicspriceguide.com/creators/jessica-ruffner), who I believe is the same person.
Which one I should use / verify? Should they (can they) be merged?

Incorrect Published Date and Title Correction

glorkar
glorkar
If I remember correctly, the date in the indicia is considered the published date, correct?
If so, then these variants of Sabrina The Teenage Witch Holiday Special need to be corrected.
Indicia has a date of February, 2024
Also, the title in the indicia does not have the colon after Sabrina nor the dash before Holiday.

Looks like this one has the cover image for Asterix The Brave.
Not familiar with the title, but digging around online, there are a bazillion different versions of Golden Sickle, so I'm not sure which one is the 1975 version.

Later Printing

I just picked up a copy of Monstress Volume One: Awakening. The copy I have is a Fifth printing from August 2021. The cover is the same and the UPC is the same.
I'm guessing printings 2, 3 and 4 all have the same cover and UPC as well, but I can't say for sure. Wouldn't know the date on them either.
