hey. I wanted to gather some info and see if what I have is really rare, or only a bit rare. In recent years, MARVEL's quality assurance has been less than great. I've gotten comics with torn pages, fouled inking and general misprinting problems of all kinds, like torn staples and what not. but now I have something different. I was wondering how many people had a copy like mine.

Neil Gaimen's Eternals relaunch is up to issue #6 of Seven. I have a regular copy I left in my box at the store, and I broughtthe variant home to read. Inside, the fist and last eight pages are repeated. ie: eight pages were printed twice and bound around the entire comics, so that it reads: first eight pages, first eight pages, middle of the story, last eight pages, last eight pages...

Now, its already a variant, but how many variants, and how many standard covers contain this mistake? a few? Many? none?

I'd love to hear from anybody who got issue six.

just thought I'd bump this during the day so I could see if anybody else has found copies like this. I'm eagerly curious.

I'd start getting excited about the lack of responses if it weren't for the lack of views.

Usually this kind of mistake at the printer devaluates any perceived rarity. Most people/ collectors will still want the complete story. Sorry

At the comic store, we usually call that 'damaged,' throw it under the filing table, and call it in later to Diamond for a replacement.

I realize that. But I enjoy the rarity. I just want to know how rare it is.

Usually this type of mistake is caught within 100 copies by QC. Usually...
So it's pretty rare.

Unlike postal stamps and baseball cards, a misprinted comic actually loses value rather than gains it. Nothing wrong with enjoying the rarity of a misprint, though. These days they are far and few between.
