This issue went on sale one week late from the solicited shipping date of this issue. DC announced in a press release on 2008-09-09 that this book would be late due to a "printing error". When it did ship, the cover was slightly different than the solicited cover; instead of holding bottles labeled Beer, Clark and Jonathan were now holding bottles labeled "Soda Pop". Apparently, that was the reason for the delay, as some copies have surfaced from the original printing that still had the beer bottles on them.
