issue with search redirecting to King Kong?

I'm having the same problem but it seems like a site-wide outage. Seems like most of the links to comics are broken. Clicking an individual issue takes you to a thief of thieves issue 1. Searches for punisher 3 and wolverine 3 and clicking on the title direct me to either king kong or thief of thieves. Doesn't matter what I search or if I try to find an issue manually by going through site sales and clicking on any title. It kind of makes the whole site not work. I've tried private/incognito windows on firefox and chrome on macos and I also have tried it with and without a vpn. |

This is the reply from Ronbatman from a little over a year ago to the same question:
"This happens when one of our alert systems is triggered. When someone is using our site with some type of scraping device or some script the Kong kicks in. Sometimes users don't know what they can do and what they cannot do with our data. In our terms of use, you cannot use a computer-generated search, build a script that downloads our data, or scraps data. My guess is that you were using some type of computer searching since scrappers don't want us to know their names.
This is obviously a serious issue for us since rivals are always trying to steal our data to catch up. If you feel like this was in error we can temporarily override it. But if it happens a second time, your account and IP will be permanently banned from the site.

that's so strange. So somebody messing with the site like that breaks the whole site for everybody? |
