If issue_credits is the list of issues this character appears in and count_of_issue_appearances is the number of issues this character appears in, I would expect count_of_issue_appearances to match the number of issues in issue_credits, but that is not always correct.

Looking at Rocket (http://www.comicvine.com/api/character/4005-32814/?api_key=mykey&format=json), he has 331 issues in issue_credits, but count_of_issue_appearances is 302.

Why don't those numbers match?
