Colour me disappointed

So I had my FLCS put X-MEN: MANIFEST DESTINY in my pull file as it came out and bought them when I had all the issues. I did this solely because I wanted to read the ongoing Iceman story in them. Very poorly done, by the way, but that's not my biggest bitch --

The installment in issue 4 of 5 ends with a big ole "TO BE CONCLUDED" on the last page. Makes sense, right? One issue to go, it pretty much has to be concluded there.

ENNNNT! Wrong! Issue 5 of 5 is one big story about Sinister acquiring Carnage's DNA despite the efforts of the X-Men and clone-not-clone Spiderman. Which is also TO BE CONCLUDED. In the last book.

What the fuck, Marvel? Did you print the wrong story inside that cover? eta: APPARENTLY SO! *facepalm*

Apparently, there was some sort of screw-up at the printers this time round, and they are reshipping the two books involved. I say, go to your FLCS, and complain -- you want your proper comic book, and shouldn't have to pay for it.

Go to the FLCS and point out the gaffe and ask for the proper copy when it arrives, sure.

Complain? Why? It's not as if the FLCS botched the printing.

Are you serious? They really did print the wrong book in that cover? XD Oh, man!

Clearly, I will take the issue I have back and swap it for the fixed one. Then my independent comic store owner can, if he is smart, shuff it in a vacuum bag and wait a few years until the print error is a collector's item. ;3

Marketing ploy. B|

Nope, apparently it is a printing error! Which is better.
