Bug Report

URL: https://readallcomics.com/030-2026/

Expected behavior: The comic is downloaded with its actual title (the real series name from the page).

Actual behavior: The downloaded .cbz archive is named 030 instead of the real comic title.

Root Cause

extractTitleFromMarkup in comic/comic.go parses the HTML <title> tag using a regex that expects Title (YYYY...). For this URL, the page title renders as something like 030 (2026), so the regex extracts 030.

The fallback titleFromSlug also produces 030: the slug 030-2026 has its trailing -2026 stripped, leaving just 030.

Neither path recovers the real series title because the page's <title> tag doesn't include it, and the slug itself is purely numeric.

Steps to Reproduce

go run main.go https://readallcomics.com/030-2026/

Observe the output file is named 030.cbz.

Possible Fix

When the extracted title is purely numeric (or matches the bare slug), fall back to a more descriptive page element — e.g. the <h1> or og:title meta tag — which may contain the full series name.
