It's not really different from how Grant Morrison opened volume 2 of Batman Inc with a scene set during #13.

But it's also not like comics disappear as soon as they're released and read.

That's not really my complaint about it, it just seemed inconsequential and meant nothing out of context. Wraparound pages like the Morrison one you mentioned are different and can be an excellent way to create suspense and make you eager to see how the story is going to take us to that point. In fact Eternal 1 used a similar premise and I personally can't wait to see how Bruce ends up on that cross by someone who knows his secret identity. Whether that scene will come in issue 52 or just at the end of the first arc is anyone's guess but I'm looking forward to finding out.
