I was in a B&N yesterday and flipped through one of the CEs they had and saw what you're talking about.  I think it's a theft prevention device, so I doubt if the online sales books would have them added.  That said, looking at that sticker stuck right across a couple panels of the book, my first thought was "can you lift this off without damaging the page?" and my second thought was "I wouldn't risk buying a comic off the shelves with one of these things in it."
