    Just got another very nice shipment from them.  Out of about 92 books, all were strict 9.4-9.8 with the exception of about 4 being in 9.2/9.4.  However, my copies of Spawn 293 came with all 3 covers like I ordered but the BW variants were not the 1st print error copies, but 2nd prints!  This book was not recalled as has been discussed at length on the boards so I'm at a loss as to why they did not send me the 1st prints that I ordered.  They are still selling for a bit of a premium so it would have been nice to get what I actually paid for, and make some cash flow back on this order. It is not like they can pull the 1st prints out of their at this point and send them to me....thoughts???

    TFAW and DCBS (and could be more online shops) sent the error books back to Diamond. For anyone that ordered, they received the corrected version (2nd print).

    What's the deal with Old Lady Harley 5?  Why is this so hot?  Anyone get a copy?   I went to the LCS today and some guy was angrily complaining to the owner that they sold out. 

    A year from now, we're going to look back and laugh at this book. A fool and his money are soon parted

    All that has relevance from a reading standpoint. You guys can play the speculating game, that's not my forte.

     

    Not even talking about speculation. Talking about the Immortal Hulk story. Ewing has already said that previous stories before his, including multiple deaths, dont matter to the Immortal Hulk story he's doing.

    Third times the charm. There is a hop-scotch Prequel to the Immortal Hulk. Although Banner is the Immortal Hulk, he hasn't been resurrecting himself . After Banner was killed by Hawkeye in Civil War II #3 , the criminal ninja organization ,The Hand, stole Hulk's body in Uncanny Avengers #14. The Avengers tried to stop the Hand's ritual in Uncanny Avengers #15 but were unsuccessful. The resurrected zombie-like Hulk emerged and engaged the Avengers in battle that ran from Uncanny Avengers #16  into #17. In issue #17 Doctor Voodoo was able to free Bruce Banner from The Hand's control and Banner subsequently "died" again.

    The second resurrection was in Secret Empires #5. Arnim Zola brought Banner back briefly under the control of Hydra except the second resurrected Hulk wasn't zombie-like. Although Bruce Banner didn't want to help Hydra, the Hulk persona had no qualms about doing battle against the Anti-Hydra group known as The Underground.  Zola used a time-delayed device to kill Hulk again right before the Hydra base was destroyed in Secret Empire #6. Hulk's deteriorated body was left buried under the Mount.

    The third and final resurrection before immortality came about in the  Avengers "No surrender" story arc. Challenger, an Elder of the Universe challenged The Grandmaster to a cosmic game. Challenger was the original Grandmaster but lost the title to En Dwi Gast after losing a previous cosmic game. The Challenger brought Bruce Banner back to life in Avengers #679 (he was in the shadows) in order to have Hulk be his ultimate champion. Bruce realized after this third resurrection that he was essentially immortal and he is captioned as so in a cameo shot in Avengers #682. In Avengers #684 Immortal Hulk goes into battle for the Challenger ,however, he ended up double-crossing Challenger causing him to lose the cosmic game. After the Avengers "No surrender" situation, the Immortal Hulk/Banner decided to hit the road again trying to stay under the radar and do good where ever he could. That's where the Immortal Hulk series picked up. 

    No sense in posting all that since nothing before Avengers 682 has any relevance to Immortal Hulk.

    That's what I thought. So, even if the interiors are meant to look like they do in the corrected version, it's still kind of an error, saying first print on the inside, and indicating a second print on the barcode. Not a big deal or anything I'd imagine most people would care about, but still...

    Since all copies of the 2nd print say First Print on the inside, it's not an error.

    So, not exactly heating up or anything, but I think the "corrected" Spawn #293 C covers (2nd prints) have differently messed up interiors. Or are they supposed to be mostly black and white with colored text? Still says "first printing" on the indicia as well, while the barcode is "29332"... That last 2 would indicate a second print, right?

    Yea, the corrected version is a 2nd print. The panels are B&W. The text boxes are colored
