Understanding Series, Titles, and Issues on VerseDB

📝 What it is

VerseDB uses a clear structure to organize comics: Titles, Series (Volumes), and Issues. Understanding these layers helps you collect accurately and find what you're looking for with ease.

✅ Definitions

🏷️ Title

A Title is the overall name of a comic line. It represents all Series (volumes) that have ever used that name — across relaunches, reboots, and timelines.

• Example: Amazing Spider-Man
• Includes multiple Series like the 1963 run, 2015 run, 2018 run, etc.

📚 Series (Volume)

A Series refers to a specific run (volume) under a Title. It's typically tied to a particular publication period and creative team.

• Example: Amazing Spider-Man (2018)
• A single volume that includes its own unique set of Issues

🧾 Issue

An Issue is the individual comic book — the specific one you can read, collect, or wishlist.

• Example: Amazing Spider-Man (2018) #1
• Belongs to the 2018 Series, which is part of the broader Amazing Spider-Man Title

💡 Tips & Troubleshooting

• If you're browsing or searching, Title pages give you the full picture across all runs
• Series pages help you follow a specific volume and view its full issue list
• You can collect and wishlist Issues, not Series or Titles
• When adding missing data, make sure you’re attaching new Issues to the correct Series (volume)
