Some episodes of Star Wars have been known to bring grown men to tears. But those aren't the tears we are talking about right now. Marvel Comics tells retailers that "There are possible tears on the covers of a measurable number of copies of Star Wars: Ahsoka #1 Aka Variant that was not found until late in the pick/pack process, and Marvel apologizes for the inconvenience.  At this time, this one variant cover has been made returnable and should be reported to PRH as soon as possible. Marvel will be issuing a reprint that should arrive to PRH within the next week, and it is recommended that you place a new order for your quantities as soon as possible. If you have already reported your defective copies for credit and replacement through the claims process, no further action needs to be taken."
