Errors For Batman #608 Batman Day Foil Edition & Fishflies #2
DC Comics and Image Comics have told retailers about errors with Batman #608 Foil Edition for Batman Day, and Fishflies #2 out today
DC Comics has told retailers that "due to an error, Batman #608 Batman Day Foil Special Edition will be returnable. Additionally, a corrected version will be on Final Order Cutoff this Sunday, 9/17/23." What the error is, we don't know. If you do, please, let us know!
Lunar Distribution has told retailers about an error and a reprint of Fishflies #2 by Jeff Lemire from Image Comics. that "Due to a production error Fishflies #2 covers A and B have a misprint. Image asks that you destroy all copies that you have received for an on-sale date of 9/20. Retailers will receive a full refund for these books and a freight credit. The replacements are being reprinted to correct the error. You will not need to re-order this title as orders will be matched to your original order. The new printing will be in your 10/11/2023 on-sale shipment." The misprint saw page 17 repeated on page 24 by mistake.
DC Comics is not asking retailers to destroy copies of Batman #608, but Image Comcis is – which usually makes the misprint version of the comic a more desired thing on the comic book aftermarket. And so it is playing out, there are already copies of Fishflies #2 that have sold for $10 as a result, three times the cover price, even though it is only meant to go on sale today. While the Batman #608 Batman Day Foil Special Edition has been selling on eBay for a dollar less than cover price.
