There are two of these in this issue, letting the reader know that they don’t have to worry – that story will return! Which is, in a lot of way, completely antithetical to the random scheduling that was the appeal of Heavy Metal in the early days. You never knew what you were going to get, but you were pretty much never told why something disappeared or if it was ever going to come back. Now? Tell me you don’t trust your readers without telling me you don’t trust your readers.
