Comic Vine — search the comic-book reference database (characters, issues, volumes, publishers, creators, story arcs) by name. Resource list: character, concept, issue, location, object, person, publisher, story_arc, team, volume. Use ONLY for fictional comic-book entities — Marvel, DC, indie comics, manga. NOT for machine learning / ML / AI research (use arxiv_search_papers) or real-world events.
