Last year, Dark Horse Comics issues a hardcover collection all three series of the comic books based on Neil Gaiman's American Gods novel and television series.

Dark Horse representatives tell me that "as you can see by the date on the linked tweet, the missing page from the first print run is an older issue. Dark Horse has been aware and has since corrected that error in all subsequent printings which are now available for purchase and have been for some time." As it stands, however, there doesn;t seem to be any proviso for people who bought the earlier version.

So, as a service from Bleeding Cool, for those reading the original printings of the collection, who may have been stopped dead in their tracks when they get to the repeated page, here is what should have run. Which is giving me A Small Killing vibe…
