This was a bit of an awkward work-around for a general formatting and categorization problem - which is, in simple terms, that seasons don't mesh well with the math being used in our back-end.

We compromised on Winter/Summer corresponding to Dec/June - even though that's not always the case. Ideally, we'd have a way to show "Winter" and "Summer", but categorize as the actual pull-month. But, obviously, that date isn't always readily available - especially with older series/issues, nor is it consistent.

Based on the information they have at comics.org, the first issue came out on June 12th - which according to our standard would technically give it a start-month of August, while the second came out on November 20th - which corresponds to a start month of January.
