Presumably Gate Star X, who redirected those pages.

Comic book pages are being moved away from the "Creator's Title" format.

It's probably part of the Comic Book namespace cleanup

But there’s still the issue of that particular page being about a number of comics

When disambiguating a Series by year we always start with the year it came out in.

If it's part of a clean-up, they really need to be stating that in the edit reason.

Just send him a PM, linking him to this discussion and asking him to link to the clean-up thread in the edit reason next time.

^ Thing is, people have asked Gate Star X to do that multiple times already in different scenarios. For some examples...

A few other tropers and I have been keeping track of works following the [creator/company name]'s [actual title] format on a dedicated sandbox for a while now, mostly to make discussion about possibly moving them easier by having them all on a single page. It seems that Gate Star X moved nearly all of them - as stated before, they didn't put an edit reason explaining the move at all, though there was at least some discussion in the comic book namespace thread before they decided to start.

That said, I also think they were a little hasty in moving so many of them so quickly. Many of them have very few wicks corrected to the new title, and in at least one case the original page hasn't been made into a redirect (as I write this, Jonathan Hickman's Avengers is still live even after the creation of The Avengers (Jonathan Hickman)). I don't say all this just to gripe - and I know from experience that not every page can have all their wicks moved in a single editing session - but the official policy page about moving pages explicitly recommends doing these things (as well as using edit reasons to explain the move).
