Nothing but a couple of page bumps to report this week. Marvel’s Cable Volume 1: Messiah War (hardcover) will be running 128 pages instead of the solicited 120, and Marvel Illustrated: Moby Dick (hardcover) will be increased from 144 to 152 pages.
Some title changes from Marvel this week:
Ultimate X-Men Volume 19: Banshee (softcover) is now Ultimate X-Men Volume 19: Absolute Power, Wolverine: Origins Volume 5: Deep End (Premiere hardcover) has become Wolverine: Origins Volume 5: Deadpool, and Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 20 (softcover) has sprouted a subtitle to become Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 20: And His Amazing Friends.
Some Marvel page count adjustments as well. The Young Inhumans (softcover) will be dropping from the solicited 288 pages to 272, while the newly renamed Wolverine: Origins Volume 5: Deadpool (Premiere hardcover) will see a page increase of 48 pages, settling at a total count of 168. The extra material won’t be free, however, with a price hike of $19.99 to $24.99 planned.
Notice something odd with your latest EC Archives Weird Science collection?
In case you missed it, the cover of Weird Science #16 was inadvertently displayed as the cover of Weird Science #18 in Gemstone Publishing’s EC Archives Weird Science Volume 3 (hardcover) collected edition.
To make amends, Gemstone will be issuing a replacement page (bagged and boarded and scheduled to be available this month (Diamond Code MAY088318)). If you own EC Archives Weird Science Volume 3, check with your retailer for the replacement.
(Nice gesture, but does this type of thing work well with online retailers? Often not, imo.)
A replacement book would have been prime, but apparently such is not the case. I would hope future printings correct the error.
No word on any replacement/correction for DC’s flubbed Showcase Presents The Haunted Tank Volume 2. I’ll keep ya posted.
