As title says, does the volume year for a comic series use the cover year or release year?
Currently going through my collection to sort and check info on comicvine (i use comicrack to catalogue and comcivine scraper to pull the info from comicvine) have come across some issues that have a release date for the first issue as, for example, dec 1998. but a cover date of feb 1999. and some series will have the 1998 release date as the volume year, while others use the cover date of 1999 . which one should be used? the issues listed in a series appear to all use their cover dates so im guessing volume year should also be the 1st issue cover date too?
