## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or recent comics industry intelligence — publisher schedules, creator news, series events, or adaptation deals — specifically curated from ComicBook.com and Bleeding Cool. Prefer it over general news search when the query is comics-domain-specific and you want pre-filtered, authoritative trade sources rather than broad web results.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the freshness window is too narrow and no new articles have been published
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '2days' instead of '2d') may cause a parameter error
- Requesting a limit above 50 will be rejected by schema validation
- Source filter typos (e.g. 'bleedingcool' vs 'bleedingcool') will return no results
- Upstream source outage may result in empty or stale results
