Dropping published lettering entirely creates a balanced visual layout that archives more smoothly under rigid backing boards than standard newsprint editions. The 2018 direct-market release fell within a high-demand quarter for Volume 5 completists, keeping circulating copies significantly lower than regular shop allocations and supporting steady secondary market retention.
