One great resource for this kinda thing, particularly for American releases, is https://comiclist.com. They have a pretty good database that could be of help. Now, if a comic misses their release date, this site might not be helpful, but misses are somewhat rare.

Here's an example from the beginning of the year http://www.comiclist.com/index.php/lists/titan-comics-extended-forecast-for-01-08-2020

I'm sure the reason our pages only give a web release date is that those are much easier to check up on, and because many of our editors no doubt, like me, prefer to read comics on their iPads, rather than junking up their limited living space with boxes of physical comics.

Another thing you can do is to focus on the magic word, solicitations. That's the word in the comics biz, if you didn't know, for what distributors pass around to comic shops as they "solicit" sales. So "titan comics August 2018 solicitations" produces a number of hits, like https://www.cbr.com/titan-comics-august-2018-solicitations/

You then search the resulting page for "Doctor Who" and you easily find that Doctor Who: The Road to the Thirteenth Doctor #2 hit shelves on 8 August 2018.

Easy, once you know what to ask the internet! Give it a shot! You may find it's a quick way that you can make a big difference on the accuracy of our articles!
