I am not sure where anyone is making a "mountain" about it. There are words dropped out on at least 4 pages though, 127, 128, 131 and 233. Really sucks for a $50 book to have multiple words missing.

It's a $34 book. If you paid $50 you got ripped

Now the question is, will Marvel care enough to fix it? Volume. 1 had at least 4 printings and I would expect the same here.

They probably will in future printings but don't expect them to offer a replacement on the book to anyone.

Looking at the book there are two pages where this happens. Page 127 where we miss one word 'Tracy' and page 131 where nothing is missing, just one line of one word balloon with a few words cut in half but you can still read it.

Unless I missed more, this is a mountain out of a molehill.

Carry on...

The story might have been divisive, but I absolutely loved it. And the absolute should have more story pages added too! Can't wait to re-read it.

Everything that Morrison has written for the event is collected in this one book. The story is a bit dense, but if you're open to crazy rear end sci-fi concepts then I think you will like it. Just realize that Morrison wanted to write a crossover event that wasn't just limited to a cinematic style that most comics tend to emulate. He wanted to do crazy things that can only be done in the comics medium.

Here's a link to a Final Crisis 'Cliff Notes', which could help you understand some things after your read:http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2009/02/26/final-crisis-cliffs-notes/

Every time I read my plastic man trades I ask myself what the hell happened to Kyle Baker. It's tragic.

And speaking of which: the first plastic man trade is without a doubt the smelliest book I've ever owned. It's like a chemical fire on your bookshelf.

Exactly. I opened mine in the car ride home after a con and we had to have all the windows down all the way home because the smell was making people nauseous.

It fades with time but when you took the shrink wrap off my god it's a powerful stink.

We're definitely in the holiday shipping season. I got the Metabarons hardcover, the Donald Duck hardcover, and Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind box set on my doorstep all on the same day. That's a lot of good comics to get all at once...

They're a bit bigger than a normal trade. Two hardcover volumes in a really nice looking slip case and each volume is around 550 pages. I recall when First printed the series back in the 80's that they gave it really nice coloring job (though my memory may be faulty there since it's been more than twenty years since I've read that version) and these volumes are your standard black and white.

It's a really terrific set for the $33 I paid through Amazon but I agree that I wish November wasn't such a rough month for releases...

Ugh, I just dropped money on Absolute FC, and it is wonderful, but seeing how big those are and how much I love what I've read of it, I have to get them.

Was going to order it last night, didn't, and now it's under review at Amazon. God dammit.

It seems pretty solid. They open wide with no sign of tension on the binding; no stressed feeling on the pages or cracking sound. Feels very tight so I was concerned that it might be a problem. It does seem like it's glued, though.

I thought at first it was just getting the usual price gouging, but it just got released and now its under review? Any reason why I shouldn't grab it from another vendor or is something crazy wrong with it?
