I've looked into this, and it appears that the problem is actually caused by a 
discrepancy in the Comic Vine data, not a bug in the scraper.

More specifically, ComicVine has TWO number 13 issues for the same Savage 
Dragon series--one of the issues has no title, the other has the TITLE "13a".  

Since it does not make sense for ComicVine scraper to use the title of the 
issue as its issue number, there is unfortunately not much that can be done 
about this.

For reference:

First number 13 :

dc5d18&format=xml&field_list=name,issue_number,volume

Second number 13 :
