	:Let's see. Both titles are actually in all caps in on comic title page. For #9 "DIS-" is highlighted with a white shadow outline. I think the wiki's intent is to make sure the emphasis on "DIS" comes across. Really it is more like "'''Dis-'''integrated Circuits" but you can't make that an article title as far as I know. (Or maybe even "'''Dis'''integrated Circuits" since "Dis" and "integrated" are on separate lines so they could technically be one word broken up.) - [[User:Gimmick\|Gimmick]] ([[User talk:Gimmick\|talk]]) 19:16, 2 January 2014 (EST)		:Let's see.

			== DIS-Integrated Circuits! ==

			This has been bugging me for ages, so for my New Year's Resolution I shall finally bite the bullet and ask - why are the first three letters of this story title always capitalised on this wiki? To my eyes, Dis-integrated Circuits! looks a lot better.

			Besides which, it just makes for good consistency - I mean, no-one calls issue 46 Ca$h and CAR-Nage! Do they?

			Somebody in the know please explain - this has been freaking me out for years now! Cheers! --[[User:Ryan Frost\|Ryan Frost]] ([[User talk:Ryan Frost\|talk]]) 16:59, 2 January 2014 (EST)
