I know misses are not that big a deal really, and they go away. But I just saw I got a "miss" on Kingpin #6 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/kingpin/6/shxrmw being published in Dec 2003. Thing is, according to comics.org, that is the published date, apparently 5 & 6 were both published in Dec 2003 for some reason.

this one is screwy. sites have it listed as Dec 2003 and Jan 2004. Marvel's site says published Jan 12 2004, https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/336/kingpin_2003_6 , and they have #5 as Dec 8 2003, and the rest of their issue dates coincide with CPG's, so I'd go with Marvel. 1 of those read comics online sites shows that #5 and #6's page 2 both have the same re-cap text and indicia, with #6 saying #5 Dec 2003 in it, but the rest of it appears to be #6. Since they do a re-cap for each issue on page 2, #6's should not be the same as #5's, so either the printer messed up, or that site did, but when you're scanning an issue, you generally keep all the pages together. so my guess is there was a printing error, and #6 was put OUT in Jan as the normal monthly publishing would go, following the other issues. But people reading the indicia quickly may not catch the #5 in #6, so GCD and mycomicshop could be wrong.
