Unable to scrape Wolverine #900

Scraped 35 other Wolverine titles in the same series and this was the only one 
that I couldn't locate.

Hi,

That comic is located in the 2003 (Marvel) series of "Wolverine".

Can you try again and let me know if you still can't get it?  I just tried it 
myself and was able to get to it with the scraper.

Perfect! That worked. Thanks so much.

For the future, is there any way I could have figured out that it was under the 
2003 series on my own? Like, is there a better way to search or look on Comic 
Vine?

Ah! I followed the "Volume - Wolverine" link in at the URL above. Took me to a 
listing that showed it's under 2003. Learned a new trick today :)

You can search for a specific issue pretty effectively from within the comic 
vine scraper itself.  Just click on "Show Issues" (and then "Go Back") to 
inspect each potential series.  This will let you browse through all of the 
issues for any of the series in the list.

If the scraper guesses the name of the series wrong (i.e. it misinterprets your 
comics' filename) you can also click "Search Again" and type the correct name 
in by hand.  This usually isn't needed; the series you're looking for will 
almost always be one of the first 3 or 4 series in that list that first list 
that the scraper shows you.
