When trying to find the right issue/comic book series, a dialogue pops up with 
the side-by-side image. Then the user can make a visual comparison to see if 
they are the same book or not.

It would be much more convenient if there was a module to compare to images and 
make the series match based on that, thereby reducing the need to have a user 
interact with the dialogue screen. 

Here's an article on how to make python scripts match compared to image files:

Hope this helps!

This feature already exists in the scraper.

To turn it on, go into settings, and turn on:

Behaviour -> When scraping comics for the first time... -> try to choose the 
correct series automatically.

This will do the image comparison whenever it can, exactly as you suggest.
