I was sorting my back issues today and noticed that the following issue is numbered 2 of 4 and it is part of a 5 issue series(other 4 say # of 5). I looked in database and it is also numbered incorrectly. What gives? Any info on this?


Silver Surfer Vol. 5 #2

That happens with some regularity. A lot of the time, the mini series will be planned as a mini series of a certain length and then get one more or one less issue as it nears it's completion. Never quite sure why, though I usually assume it's because the writer and artist didn't realize that the story that they wanted to tell was going to be a bit longer than they thought when splash pages and art are added. The series usually goes to print before the final issue is finished, after all.
