Seems to be related to TPBs.

Steps to replicate:

  1. Scrape a TPB (such as Black Widow: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Most Wanted)
  2. When the results are returned, observe that the Issues value is 2
  3. Check the ComicVine page for the comic (https://comicvine.gamespot.com/black-widow-shields-most-wanted/4050-95202)
  4. Observe that the issue count is 1.

Not just TPBs. The Immortal Hulk is showing 34 in the Issues field, despite issue 33 only coming out in the last week.

I wonder if this is because CV has fixed an old issue with their APIs where they were underreporting the number of comics in a series? Our CV scraper code adds 1 based on what i read in Cory Banack's CV scraper for CR.

So if CV has fixed things, then we can remove this addition as well.

Closing - issue counts now look correct (matching against Comic Vine).
