This type is the top level object for modeling comics.
It contains all series specific information, i.e. publisher, number of issues, what series it continues. Finer grain information is recorded at the issue and story level.
The Continues and Continued by properties are used to record the previous and succesive incarnations of a series. For instance "The Uncanny X-Men" was printed as "The X-Men" with irregular uses of uncanny from issues #114 to #141, and officially changed to "The Uncanny X-Men" with issue #142.
Specific issues should be added by double clicking the issues property and then filling in the complete official title followed by a pound sign and the issue number (i.e. "The Uncanny X-Men #142"). In Freebase you would create a separate series for each official name and connect them in this way.
The First/Last Issue properties reflect the either the original issue and final issue, or the issues preceding and succeeding a name change.
