DC Comics Recalls Blackest Night Brightest Day Boxset Over Fake Glues

Published Mon, 16 Nov 2020 08:00:01 -0600

This weekend, comic book stores received the Blackest Night Brightest Day Box Set from DC Comics, for sale from Tuesday – but there's a problem. A big one. The massive volume contains twelve brand-new hardcovers that collect the entire Blackest Night and Brightest Day events led by Geoff Johns as well as a set of nine Lantern rings and the bonus sketchbook, The Book of the Black. But in what is likely to be an insanely expensive operation, DC Comics has now recalled the entire run due to what they describe as "potential faulty glue/binding that may at some point fall apart." UCS Comic Distributors have told retailers that they will be emailed shipping labels to send them back to UCS and to not sell the item to customers. Presumably, Lunar and Diamond UK customers will get a similar instruction.

Here are the full contents listings. The Amazon listing has been updated with a new release date for January 19th 2021. At which point, presumably, they will have used some new glue.
