How to handle graphical novels, each one with a title ?

I am using MyReadings interface for few weeks and I would like to integrate all my albums (comics, mangas, but also graphical novels) in calibre databases.
For that I need tagging, I installed Comic Book Lover on my Mac.
I did the metatagging for some graphical novels. It works well... But I wont be able to do it for each one...
I read about ComicTagger and it seems really cool.
I have found that the fastest way to get metadatas correctly is through parsing filenames.
But... here is my question :
ComicTagger seems really oriented to comics with a parsing on series titles and issues numbers.
from the page : http://code.google.com/p/comictagger...neral_Features

SERIES_NAME vVOLNUM ISSUENUM (of COUNT) (PUBYEAR).ext

How do you handle graphical novels, each one with a title ?

Example I have found on ComicVine : "the initiates"
http://www.comicvine.com/the-initiates/4050-57195/
It is a graphical novel with 1 issue.
How do I need to name the file so I can be able to get correctly the metadatas ?
And for multiple albums for a same serie ?
example : Asterix
Thanks for your help on this topic,

it'll help me to write a tutorial on a fast way to integrate into myreadings.
