Is it true that the Morning Glories HC Vol.1 has a printing error? If it true, how bad it is?

Yes, it's true. I had heard about it and had to flip to thru the book to find the page myself. It's chapter/issue 6, last page, one word balloon, three words. But it's essential to the story.

Was pretty bummed by it, went to exchange it, got a refund instead. The comic store staff didn't seem interested in getting the new corrected version, but they did pull off the few copies they had up for sale, they didn't know till I told them, and they said something about these now being "collector's items".

Image should make this more widely known so that unknowing readers who bought it would be aware. I pity such a reader who bought it and reading it for the first time.

We should be issuing a statement, probably today on what stores and fans can do.

We're working at super-speed to correct the error and will make sure that everyone is satisfied.

This is too important and too nice a book for there to be any errors and we apologize for this.

We fully intend to make it right.

Please, be patient.

FOR A BETTER FUTURE
Morning Glories Deluxe Hardcovers Delayed Due to Printing Error

Berkeley, CA – 5 December 2011 -- Fans anticipating the first deluxe hardcover volume of Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma's critical darling, MORNING GLORIES, will have to wait a little longer to get their heart's desire. While Image Comics and Shadowline regret the delay caused by a printing error, they are committed to making this handsome collection of one of the best selling and most critically acclaimed series just right.

Initially scheduled to be on sale November 30th, the book was pulled from this week's shipments. The publisher is now working with the printer and distributor to fix the error and expedite reshipment of MORNING GLORIES, HC VOL. 1. The corrected version is expected to be back in stores by the end of December.

Fans have a full course load of extras to look forward to in this gorgeous deluxe collection that no collector or fan of the series will want to be without it. Collecting the first 12 issues of the enigmatic story that Time called "the sort of premise you might associate with an ambitious TV show rather than a current comic book", plus every MORNING GLORIES cover by Rodin Esquejo, a foreword by Damon Lindelof, Executive Producer of Lost, and sketches and character studies from Esquejo and Eisma make this a must-have edition!

In the meantime, both trade paperback volumes are available for retailers to reorder and the next issue, MORNING GLORIES #15, will be on sale December 21. The entire series is also available to purchase day-and-date from Image Comics' digital partners.

Is the corrected version already out? I ordered from amazon.ca and they're shipping mine tomorrow. Is that corrected version or still the misprint?

Hope somebody can help me out coz I want to know if I need to cancel it before it ships.

That would be the version with the error.

These things do not corrected overnight--it takes time.
They have to be collected, shipped back to the printer, fixed, then re-shipped back out.
Takes a little more than a week to do all of that, I'm afraid.

You should cancel the order.
