Appreciation post: the guy at my shop who reads Iron Man backwards
There's a dude at my local shop who reads every Iron Man issue from back to front. Last Wednesday he showed me the reasoning. Said the cover art spoils the end anyway, so he reads the final panel first to judge if the story is worth his $4.99. At first I thought he was nuts. But he caught a continuity error in issue 38 that I missed after three reads. Now I flip to the last page on new releases, just to check the hook. Anyone else got weird reading habits at their shop?

He's got the right idea but he's off on one thing, the cover art doesn't always spoil the end, sometimes it's just a decoy or a random splash page. That continuity catch though, that's proof he's onto something real, even if his method's a little backwards to me.
