The idea why I wanted to use topic was that some comics actually have a title.
E.g. http://xkcd.com/221/
Here you have "XKCD", strip "221" by "Randall Munroe", with the title "Random 
Number".

Yes you are right in this regard, that it basically is the same information. 
Though I wonder what the common demoniator could be named. Also important is 
that some comics are identified by a number, while others are either 
identified by a date or even their title.
Comparing that with an episode is probably not the right way, since an episode 
has always a distinctive number, a title and then maybe the date of the first 
airing.
