Casey Jones & Raphael #1 ends at Page 20.

Bodycount #1 continues from Page 20 with 6 more pages of content.

So if you tried to read Casey Jones & Raphael #1 and Bodycount #2 back to back, you'd be missing 6 pages inbetween. It was deliberately done in order to force anybody who bought Casey Jones & Raphael #1 to rebuy it as Bodycount #1 (very shrewd, Eastman). The extra 6 pages in Bodycount #1 read like the first 6 pages of Casey Jones & Raphael #2, the issue ending on a rather anticlimactic panel, as it WAS meant to be the first six pages of Casey Jones & Raphael #2. They just, again, awkwardly slapped it on to the end of Bodycount #1 to make people rebuy an almost identical product.

Casey Jones & Raphael #1 also has a color back-up story by Jim Lawson, the insipid "Guzzi Lemans" which I cannot in good conscience recommend to anyone on this planet.
