BY JOSHUA YEHLJune's DC Comics issues will feature half-page ads on story pages, according to artist Chris Burnham's now-deleted tweets.

The Beat has reported that these ads will only be featured in June's releases with no plans to continue to run more in the future. The first wave of these issues hits next week on Wednesday, June 3.

June's comics mark the start of the post-New 52 era of DC Comics and will have many high-profile issues (Batman #41, Justice League of America #1, etc.), so one can imagine that's why a more aggressive advertising campaign is being used.

The ads feature 98 Degrees band member turned TV personality Nick Lachey trying his hardest to decide between either the left or right peanut butter Twix bar. IGN reached out to Twix to inquire about the actual differences between the left and right Twix bars (seriously), as well as comment on the story.

As for how this will affect the graphic novel version once the issues are collected into a volume, apparently artists were instructed to take into account that those pages would be split in half for the single issues and then put back into one for the trade.

I forget exactly what comic issue it was, but it was one of Igor kordeys new xmen issues that in the comic was a splash illustration but when they reprinted it in the graphic novel half was on the right page and when you flipped it the other half was on the back. All I could think of was that Marvel figured out how to make kordey's shitty pencils looked even shittier.
