What search did you use? You will need to use the S&R tab of the Bulk Edit Metadata dialog, regex mode.

Search mode: Regular Expression
Search field: title
Search for: (.*)
Replace with: <prefix goes here> \1
Destination field: title
eschwartz - how would that put the volume numberS in the titles - would it not simply prepend whatever is in "<prefix goes here>" to all the titles, so they'd still all be the same...

OP needs to have an identifier (volume number, date whatever) in a custom column (say comicid), then use {template} in Search field and something like "{title} - {#comicid}," in Template and then your Search for and Replace with
