You keep talking about compilations as if that somehow matters for individual issues. Any given volume of comics may be compiled into numerous trade paperbacks whose volume numbers will often have absolutely nothing to do with the volume of the original comic publication. (Conversely they may never be compiled into anything at all, for example, comics #26-114 from Iron Man Vol 1 aren't reprinted in any published compilations, not Masterworks, not Essentials, nowhere.)

I'm not saying you people don't work by indicia, but if an indicia fact is not corraborated by nothing else, not covers, not actual publications, not other sources, then would be good listen the opinion of others. For example, I still don't think that a comic book of 40 pages can be a volume no matter how much Marvel Database can say it. Sure in the 2087 an actual one-shot issue can be continuated and published as compilation, and for sure then can be good have duplicated items talking of volumes. Another example, when I was trying to improve the Marvel Mangaverse "Vol 1" issues helping me with external sources, the simple fact that the issues don't exist anywhere by that name was greatly confusing. I was not able to situate myself, what comic books I was missing? And that fact not only causes confusion here, but also that creates more confusion everywhere; what results in the spreading of false information.
