Bleeding Cool recently featured the first exclusive Walking Dead variant for issue 75 from Ultimate Comics in North Carolina. Customers, including Bleeding Cool readers, who ordered the issue in question recently received this e-mail, cc'ed to them all.

So, I have good news and bad news. We received the Walking Dead Variants today as scheduled. I have them all and am ready to start shipping them as soon as possible.

However, every last copy has a printer defect. There is a two inch wrinkle on the back cover (this would be the white cover with logos only). They all have this defect so there is not a whole lot we can do about it.

We have contacted both Image and Diamond in regards to the problem, but there is not much we think can be done as this would make the book a second printing if they were to go back to press with it.

We are planning to contact CGC in regards to the possibility of qualified grading for the book. We understand that many of you are going to be looking to get these graded and that is of course a concern.

We are contacting each person who has purchased the book to let them know about the problem, so that they can be fully informed and can contact us with any questions or concerns they may have.

Will this be the Ultimate Wrinkle Variant Edition from now on?

UPDATE: A new letter has gone out, saying;

Hey everyone,

Thanks for your kind words and understanding yesterday.

I have mostly good news today!

Image contacted us last night and let us know they are replacing the entire print run of the book.

This means we should have nice copies to sell.

However, it means being just a little more patient as the item was print to order, so it needs to be reloaded on the printer. I will update with our expected shipping date just as soon as I can.

Thanks for working with us on this situation. Again, feel free to contact us, should you have any questions or concerns.

So… a second print it is!
