Good Day-

I found a couple possible problems with the "Invincible Universe: Battle Beast" entry.

First, is it correct that there are two listings?

https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/invincible-universe-battle-beast/pisqcx

and

https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/invincible-universe-battle-beast/pisqcy

Even though the Mask variant is a different price and does not have the "Blood & Thunder" preview on the back pages (at least per my issues) is it not just a variant as indicia states both as "Battle Beast" #1 April 2025? The first listing also has a sketch variant listed, but I assume it is another variant of same.

Next, the colon is missing in title between "Universe" and "Battle." This is per indicia.

The date in the entry is incorrect. Per indicia issue #1 is April not May.

Finally, I am not sure "Blind Bag" is a variant as it can contain a variety of covers and not even necessarily a ""Battle Beast" comic. My Blind Bag came with an exclusive "Invincible" #19 variant. See attached and I have already added this to missing variants for "Invincible" #19.

Thanks

Hello,

I couldn't find an entry for "Marvel Team-Up 14 Blind Bag" edition either.

I'm not sure why these special blind bag issues have been ignored.

Thanks.

And this is not the only one, Planet Death also has two listings for the same books.

Another problem also brought up in this thread is blind bag issues. I can see a cover variation for the comic still in the bag, but the problem comes with the book out of the bag. If there is only one cover, then the unbagged variant is fine as a variant, but when there is many, then an unbagged variant in the database should be given away to the actual book in the bag, such as the Team-up book shown above as well as others. The Unique blind bag for Heat Seeker Combustion #1 is insane as every bag contains a different variation. And there is a blind bag with multiple covers coming up for the new Batman #1 for the next series.
