DC Comics Reprint Retailer Exclusive Covers Of Metal #1 After Serious Print Flaws

It appears there was a major printing issue with the release of many retailer exclusive covers for Dark Nights: Metal #1 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.

The UV coating on the comics was applied in a manner that was not consistent across the books. Retailers found some of their books had partial coating. Some had no coating. Many books were stuck to each other from the coating not drying prior to boxing them. And it bleeds over to the pages so that pages are stuck together as well. In addition, poor printing, stacking and handling mean that there was continual spine damage. And the issue has been widespread in comic book stores across the country.

As a result, for affected stores, DC Comics are going to reprint the entire exclusive cover print run and ship them direct from the printer.

Here's a few of those exclusive covers that may have been affected.
