This is something I've discussed a few times with a few others, but basically Marvel's practice of creating "digital only" content, such as Infinite Comics, ComiXology Originals, and Digital Originals, then later producing an actual physical publication of the digital comic is a growing source of duplicate appearances for us; however, they're technically not reprints, as the first time they're ever printed is in fact the physical copies, not the digital ones, so it would be good to agree upon a policy of how best to handle the coding to avoid "false" appearances going forward.

Personally I'd lean towards stripping the tags from the digital issues, regardless of their being created first, as there is sometimes additional content in the print issues (for example Ms. Marvel Infinite Comic Vol 1 1 versus All-New Marvel NOW! Point One Vol 1 1.NOW or Deadpool: The Gauntlet Infinite Comic Vol 1 13 versus Deadpool: Dracula's Gauntlet Vol 1 7).

Anyway, I look forward to reading other people's thoughts and coming to a consensus here.
