Marvel Comics Decides To Make Final Page of Issues Available Only Via a QR Code (Comic Book Forums)

Marvel, like many publishers, has seen business is dropping and comic books are not selling as they used to, partly because a day before the new releases are available for sale, someone has already scanned them or posted the twists and best panels on Reddit and various websites. There is nothing that can be done against this, and it reflects the current state of things. As a result, the first release of the new era of 'X-Men' tried to change things in the weirdest way possible: by removing the last page and replacing it with a QR code.

With that code, readers can access the final page, which tends to be the one that holds the cliffhangers and nods to the future. But it turns out this won't be the only time it happens, as Tom Breevort explained in his newsletter: they basically imagined it as an extra page that wouldn't be released until the same day of the launch to avoid spoilers… and they will continue to do so throughout the different titles of the mutant franchise.
