Request: Series title replacement #417

Problem:
More and more we are finding this issue: different series that have the same name and year in comicvine, so that the usual schema "Series title (year)" seems not to be good anymore.

Typical examples would include:

  • Series & TPB released in the same year.
  • Digital series (for example "Flash Season Zero") that also are released in paper, collecting several digital issues.

Given that the comics are correctly scrapped, there are problems like appearing as duplicates, same series/year combination, etc...

Proposed solution:
Use an advanced setting similar to that for Imprints and Publishers: using a CVDBID and a new series title would make CVS replace the series title in comicvine with the one listed in the settings. For example:

Advanced setting:
series CVDB495767 -> "Batman '66 - [digital]"

Result:
Comics that are ID'd as belonging to series CVDB495767 would be given the series "Batman '66 - [digital]", instead the original in comicvine ("Batman '66"). This would help differentiate, on the fly, comics from this series to its printed counterpart that has the same volume name and year in comicvine (series CVDB486703).
