A series I recently added was denied; there wasn't a way for me to reach out to the mod so I'm asking here to find out what I did incorrectly.

I submitted Absolute Power: Origins (https://comicvine.gamespot.com/wiki/moderation/2151864/), a TPB collecting Absolute Power: Origins and Suicide Squad #10 - Up Against the Wall. I included a handful of other reference links to substantiate the submission, including DC Comics' site.

I believe the addition has merit given the associated content in case it can be revisited, but if I misinterpreted any rules in doing so I appreciate any insight you can share.

Series section is for TV-series. Volumes is for comic volumes.

Also, we don't add comics early, so when they are in pre-order we don't add them. We add them on the day they come out, as anything can happen between the solicitation and the publishing date.

@furelio: Oh, I should have mentioned using print edition covers. Publishers nowadays mostly use preview covers that are kind of wrong. Most common issue is they leave extra space for art for mistakes in the print. Here are some examples I have found: Retail Covers vs Preview Covers.

Thanks for the additional clarification; that makes sense! I overlooked that policy when reading through the rules.

Thanks also for the cover details. I think my resubmission was denied because of an issue (no pun) with the cover. To clarify: With TPBs at least, is the preference for physical over digital covers more of a requirement, regardless of them being identical? I read it as more of a guideline and thought that because DC's web site uses an identical front cover the quality would be better vs a scan. If I was mistaken though I'll use a scan or photo.
