Was going through the verify data for creators and one caught my eye.
Wakanda #1 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/wakanda/1E/phyrkpq

collectibleshop listed "Netease Games" as the cover artist. They aren't an actual artist, just another company. They are apparently China's largest internet and gaming provider. It'd be the same as saying Nintendo or Spectrum/Time Warner are the artist.

These issues already had it approved:
Gambit #4 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/gambit/4B/phyrjvw
Midnight Suns #2 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/midnight-suns/2B/phytjtq
Savage Avengers #6 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/savage-avengers/6C/phypluv
X-Men #16 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/x-men/16C/phytjyq
Avengers Forever #10 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/avengers-forever/10C/phyvlts


So I guess I'm wondering if the ones with it should keep it? And if so, should the 17 other NetEase Games variants have it added?
Or should it be removed from those 5?

I wondered about that too, so have now deleted my subs for those. Not sure why they'd have Netease in the creator database, but that's why I submitted it. If someones owns any of those, they could look inside and see if there's a cover artist named. I always wonder why/how all the other creators are filled in on issues except the cover artist half the time, even when their name is in the subtitle. You have to look inside to find editors and inkers and letterers, so why not add the cover artist too when you're adding those?
