Relaunches back to old numbering

A run that starts (or jumps) at an old issue number, like Avengers #672 in 2017. Metron, ComicVine and the publishers' own sites (checked: Marvel.com, DC.com) keep each as its own volume; collector price guides file them under Vol 1. Longbox keeps both: its own volume number, and the old numbering on record. Case by case (D-017, D-021).

Already settled by your Data Manager research: 36 runs like these. They stand (D-017).
Their own volume by name: 21 runs that carry on another run's numbers under a new name. Your research numbers these as their own volume (Captain America and Bucky, The Uncanny X-Men), so they aren't asked. Say so in chat if one is wrong.

Avengers (1998)

  • Starts at #1, jumps from #84 to #500, runs to #503 · 89 issues
  • Metron: V3, its own volume; ComicVine: its own volume (#1 and the old numbers together)
  • Old numbering kept on record: carries on The Avengers (1963) V1 from #500
  • Earlier runs with this name: V1 The Avengers (1963) #1–#402; V2 Avengers (1996) #1–#13

Longbox's guess is starred. Metron, ComicVine and the publisher's own site all keep it as its own volume (D-021).

The Amazing Spider-Man (2015)

  • Starts at #1, jumps from #32 to #789, runs to #801 · 51 issues
  • Metron: V4, its own volume; ComicVine: its own volume (#1 and the old numbers together)
  • Old numbering kept on record: carries on The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) V1 from #789
  • Earlier runs with this name: V1 The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #1–#700.5; V2 The Amazing Spider-Man (1999) #1–#58; V3 The Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #1–#20.1

Longbox's guess is starred. Metron, ComicVine and the publisher's own site all keep it as its own volume (D-021).
