    So i understand that it finished on issue #133 than was revamped starting back at issue #1, but im trying to get my head around why it than changes to #150 after issue #15 because if i count the comics inbetween it only adds up to #148 not #150

    A lot of the time they renumber comic books and then when they approach a big anniversary issue (basically any 50 increment ie 50, 100, 150, etc) because anniversary issues have proven to sell more issues. A case in point for this is X-Factor. Volume 2 started with issue 1 and after issue 50, they skipped to issue 200 (two anniversary issues in a row, which I'm sure they cashed in on) because if you add in the other X-Force issues, that's how many there actually were.
