This is the latest in a series of posts covering how
various comic series have had name changes or an unusual numbering pattern. The
titles covered will give you a sense of what I’m getting at. To qualify the
numbering must rename the same or if changed, there must somehow be an obvious
tie to the original number somehow. Hiatuses not counted until there is a name
and/or numbering change in between. There must also be at least three different
names and/or renumberings. Info source:
the current edition of Overstreet’s price guide.
