Whilst that thing about the UK date system is true, it's also true that the system 2007/5/2 is gaining in prevalence, and the "52" thing works in that one too.
I gather that Titan Books will be supplementing their usual policy of creating "British" editions of DC trade paperbacks by defacing the back cover with an enormous unremoveable new price sticker. They will also be overstickering the front cover with the new title "25".
I'm not exactly sure why, but this fact pleases me immensely. I love to see a plan come together so well.
