The Web API is reporting an incorrect number of issues for at least one volume.

Note how this volume has seven issues: http://www.comicvine.com/morning-glories/4050-39321/

But if you find that volume using the web API, you'll notice it is only reporting 1 issue in the <count_of_issues> tag:

http://www.comicvine.com/api/search/?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE&format=xml&limit=20&resources=volume&field_list=name,id,count_of_issues&query=morning%20glories&offset=0

(Just look for id 39321 in the results)

Most volumes do not have this problem, but it is not the first time I've run into this.

@cbanack: Counts have been off for years on the site, the problem was probably inherited into the API and most likely won't be fixed until counts for the site are fixed which isn't planned on being fixed until the next major wiki platform rewrite that might not happen this year.
