Some of us were discussing a potential additional type of printed/digital appearance that is becoming increasingly common where Marvel buys/licenses another property (Miracleman or STAR WARS for examples of the former or Conan as an example of the latter) and then adds content from the earlier non-Marvel issues to their published collected works, such as or, as well as sometimes adds them rebranded to their digital portfolio. (An example of rebranding would be w:c:darkhorse:Conan Vol 1 now being sold as what we'd call Marvel's "Conan Vol 2.")

In this specific instance...

Should the collected issues be coded as actual appearances despite technically being reprints of non-Marvel issues and simultaneously be categorized as reprints despite being the first time Marvel published them if they precede the digital release? (If they don't precede the digital release, then I presume it's no different than the other "digital only" content discussed previously in this thread.)

Should individual articles on our Marvel Database reflect the digital release date for those rebranded single issues previously from non-Marvel publishers and merely note the original publication date of the non-Marvel issue in the notes?
