Uncanny Inhumans, All The Right Pages, Not Necessarily In The Right Order
Non linear storytelling, it's all the rage. Whether that's recent hit Quantico or this week's SHIELD, it's all about creating a jigsaw in the viewer or reader's mind and then filling in the pieces, looking for the blue bits.
Which is possible why in this week's Uncanny Inhumans #1… well let's look to the commenters .
on ComicVine – " Secondly, there were pages that were out of order in the back-up story, which threw me off. Normally, I wouldn't be so upset, but when I pay five dollars for a comic, I expect it to at least be printed properly and this issue most certainly wasn't."
predictable_me on r/comicbooks – "In my copy, the extra story in the back has a page out of order. The front of the page should be on the back (and the back on the front, of course). It is when Mcgee's team is finds the glass girl (sorry, can't remember character's name)."
corruptedevil on r/comicbooks – "My digital copy has it in that order so I think it's intentional."
Spear of Bashenga on CBR – "Pretty fun issue but some of my pages were printed out of order which completely threw me off. Specifically the scene where they free glass girl was all over the place. It was like they decided to do a non sequential segment right in the middle for no reason. Anyone else have this problem?"
Yes, everyone had this problem. But don't expect Marvel to reprint the issue to fix it… instead Marvel have simply told readers that
Due to a printing error, pages 30-32 were printed out of order.,,, The proper reading sequence should go as follows
(page 30)
(page 32)
(page 31)
Uncanny! You can find the pages in the correct order here.
