CBR: OOPS: X-Men: Manifest Destiny #5 Actually X-Men/Spider-Man #3

[CBR News]

A printing error has resulted in the contents of next week's "X-Men/Spider-Man"
#3 being transposed with that of this week's "X-Men: Manifest Destiny" #5. Proper
versions of both will go on sale next week.

Marvel should give both books away for free for their mistake.

...Or at least add in a collectible trading card of some kind for good measure.

haha... I wish... :mad:

[Maestro]

I wouldn't mind. Who wants to read about freakin' Dazzler anyway. Spidey all the way

Sure, that wouldn't really be hurting Marvel. That would be hurting the retailers.

[Novaya Havoc]

I demand SEVEN DAZZLER VARIANT COVERS as reparations for this mental abuse.

[fitditz]

uh, what happened to us suckers who actually picked up the misprint? do we get to trade this one in exchange for BOTH?

[frog]

Shame on Marvel, selling erroneous books to young people.

Isn't this mishap make people rich?

I wanted to read about Dazzler.

How insensitive.

[drwho]

Isn't this mishap make people rich?

I have never heard of a rich comic store owner.

[frog]

Isn't this mishap make people rich?

Probably no more likely than the Death of Superman comic, since there's so many out there.

[greenshoes713]

I have never heard of a rich comic store owner.

Aren't these comics going to be very valuable?

[JimmyDee]

I DEMAND A RECOUNT.

Wait. No. Wrong scandal.

[JimmyDee]

Aren't these comics going to be very valuable?Define "valuable."

[Novaya Havoc]

Aren't these comics going to be very valuable?

All comics with Dazzler on the cover are very valuable.

Even if they're horrendous pranks.

[Beast]

Aren't these comics going to be very valuable?
Only if the Comic Shop Owners actually return them.

The "Kike" issue of Wolverine from a few years ago, some retailers kept copies.

I don't think it's really worth all that much. But I haven't checked lately.

[greenshoes713]

Define "valuable."

When you sell it people are going to give you lots of money for it...

I don't think this would be a Marvel error, they don't print their comics anymore than DC does. The Printer is the one that made this mistake.

[doublewhiskeycokenoice]

oooh, i think there's something wrong with my Malibu Stacy too,

"my spidey-sense is tingling!" "did somebody call for a web slinger?"

I second that! :tongue:

Depends. It IS possible that somebody at Marvel sent out the wrong mix of files to the printer. Marvel has been getting pretty lax in terms of quality control lately. While certainly less extreme than a printing goof, the number of typos that have slipped by lately is just one too many.

It's easy to blame the printer, but Marvel has pumped out so many books lately that stuff was bound to slip through the cracks sooner or later.

[Assemble]

They print the Marvel books about an hour from where I live... and i've met two guys that work there... it seems only natural... and from meeting those two fellas... im surprised this doesn't happen more often.

[eurazn]

I wouldn't mind. Who wants to read about freakin' Dazzler anyway. Spidey all the way

You have made babies cry the world over.

Obviously there are many of us want to read about Dazzler or we wouldn't be protesting in the streets!

I wanted to read about Dazzler.

How insensitive.

Prodigy, you really are my new best friend.

I demand SEVEN DAZZLER VARIANT COVERS as reparations for this mental abuse.

Co-signed!!! But none of those variants are allowed to be NEX/Skrull Dazz!

[Flâneur]

Spiderman is mainstream and vanilla, Dazzler is cult and independent ergo Dazzler is better and should be on ipod advertisements.

[jarrod]

lolololol

The glitterati just can't catch a break.

[bcwflash]

I want a good Dazzler cover. I really do not like the one curently on the book. Just make a new monthly for Dazzler and i'll call it even. Give her back her Silver costume as well.

[Prodigy55]

Prodigy, you really are my new best friend.

Yes! You are so cool.

[justinkos91]

- Wanted to see how the Mytique/Iceman conflict ended (if it does)
- Dazzler's actual comic appearance as promised
- The current status of Avalanche

Disappointed, but then again, one source is saying I have to wait 2 weeks while another says 1. :redface:

[x_goalkeeper]

I will keep an eye out for this.. the comics at the shop I go to are all sealed in plastic so I may have to ask permission to verify the contents :smile:

[Michael P]

Google and ebay searches don't reveal anything.

That's because enough copies were bought before the mistake was made that they're not really rare or particularly special. I had one myself, but I junked that whole run of Wolverine a while back. (Beyond the misprint, the issue itself is entirely forgettable.)

Plus, who wants to be the guy bragging about his mint copy of a Marvel comic with a racial slur in it?

yeah, nothing special about the issue really. i have one.

i preorder my comics so hopefully whenever i get this issue it's the right one.

[Your Imaginary Pal]

you know the funny thing?
that's the book I forgot about yesterday.
I knew I wanted to pick up another bookwhen I waent to the shop, but couldn't think of the title.
Maybe I'm a reverse psychic. My mind blocks potentially disappointing events, before they happen.

I'm my own hero. GO ME!!!

[Pugfugly]

I was just thinking...will the correct printing have a new cover to distinguish it from the error version? Knowing Marvel it will probably involve a monkey.

[aquafanatic]

in honor of 'FORMER' comics legend John Byrne......

what a jerk...lol :biggrin:

[Scavenger]

in honor of former comics legend John Byrne

Did John Byrne's status get revoked or something?

"Sorry, John, but you ranted one time too many so your Fantastic Four is no longer considered classic. If you don't watch yourself, you'll no longer be remembered as the artist on The Dark Phoenix Saga."

[Alex A Sanchez]

I was just thinking...will the correct printing have a new cover to distinguish it from the error version? Knowing Marvel it will probably involve a monkey.

I sincerely hope so. Marvel doesn't seem like the type of company to miss an opportunity to create collectibles. If the cover is, I just may keep my misprint rather than returning it next week.

HAs anyone provided any spoilers on the real manifest destiny finale?

I haven't seen any, and I haven't had time to go to my LCBS this week yet. Hopefully I can stop by there tomorrow. I want to see how Daz takes out MM Marko.

[Beast]

Won't be out until next week.

And after finally getting the corrected copy I have to find out that the story penciled by Takeshi Miyazawa (http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?artist=TAKESHI%20MIYAZAWA) (which was the sole reason I even ordered the book) isn't in #5 at all. Apparently it was moved to #4 (http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/122822982243588.htm), and obviously without telling anyone. I did not find any product update on this (actually there was one (http://previewsworld.com/public/default.asp?t=1&m=1&c=6&s=462&ai=76632) for #4, but not for this change) and Marvel.com still shows the incorrect information (http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?id=10631) (here's the real content (http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/123125662748030.htm)).

So I was forced to buy #5 (since I explicitly preordered it), which I didn't want, and still have to hunt down #4, which I need. Thank you, Marvel. I'm a little ticked, right now.
