If it had gone on much longer, bet you it would've relaunched with yet another name.Ĭontent was not the only ever-changing aspect of the comic: The cover stock, the cover's size, and the price all proved to be fluid, launching at £2.99, falling to £2.50 after the comic's size was reduced, occasionally rising to £2.70 or £2.75 when the magazine would feature larger-than-the-comic glossy card covers, before increasing to a shocking £3.99 from the last few months of 2010, concluding with a £4.99 final issue.
