My LCS guy swore the new 52 run was a fresh start but issue 3 had a page printed upside down
Went to my local shop in Portland last Saturday and grabbed the first three issues of a new series he pushed hard on me. Got home, and page 14 in issue 3 is literally upside down, the art and the words, everything. I called the shop and he said it's a known printing error for that batch, so now I'm wondering if I should even bother hunting down a clean copy at another store or just read it digital. Has anyone dealt with a misprint like this before, and do you keep it as a weird collectible or return it?
A whole page upside down? That's wild. I've seen bad ink and off center cuts but never an entire page flipped like that.
I'd keep it. Misprints like that can end up worth something down the line, and you already got the story to go with it. Just read the rest digital if you wanna know what happens.
