It's not a surprise, but in a way it astounds one to see the lengths editors and publishers will go to try a gimmick or hope to garner new readership.
Recall an era of books with limited-series arcs then reset the series number, multiple covers,
hologram cover, insert a card/freebie in a bag sealed with the comic - and more.
CIVIL WAR at Marvel seemed to come much too late when the series had --- lack of good stories. THE CLONE SAGA confused nearly anyone who read Spider-man books at it's time. CRISIS (two different eras) worked but I neglected to ever hear if DC gained new readership after such a plan. Indeed: Uh-oh.
