Disclose Notes: Letters from David Lotempio, Michael Metzger, Mike Todd and Dylan X.

The next issue section promises a "newly formatted" issue coming out three months later in November 2007, rather than the eventual June 2008 date. Apparently at this point in time L&R volume three's wider 100-page trade paperback format hadn't been decided on yet because the prototype cover shown on the page has a standard US comic book shape.
