And I'm going to have to look back at the previous five issues, because I think that this was done earlier on and I didn't catch it.

Addendum 2: I meant 3 reasons, of course. As I was flipping my copy of this comic book around to get that (👆) picture, I realized that all of the ads in this issue had been placed after the story, just like Image Comics has been doing. This is the way to print comic books. Nobody wants to see a death of Superman story interrupted by a Twinkies ad.
