Comic Vine search of existing comic gets "Empty JSON" error.

[michael-zock]

If I try the "Identify" feature using the Comic Vine ID, I get errors like the following log section.

These are the two comic issues where I ran into it today:
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/aliens-fire-and-stone-1-chapter-one/4000-466290/
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/aliens-fire-and-stone-2-chapter-two/4000-468876/

Weirdly, it only happens with the first two issues of that miniseries, the final two work just fine if I search using the numeric IDs:
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/aliens-fire-and-stone-3-chapter-three/4000-471268/
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/aliens-fire-and-stone-4-chapter-four/4000-474584/

almost 60% of metadata retrieval with comicvine_id is not working due to these errors

also api calls are being made even when only comicvine_id fields is supplied which (to google) which is a waste IMO.
