The actual issue (supposedly) with back issues and their price has to do with Apple. Basically, the publishers want to be able to do sales every now and then on older titles to bring attention to them and what not (Marvel Mondays and DC's 101 sales, etc). Anyway. Apple doesn't want anything to go below .99 for some reason? So, issues are priced at 1.99 so that they can be lowered later.

That's what I've heard, anyway. Could be wrong.
