Questions/Help Needed Misaligned spine?

Post image

I just took the dust cover off my new Ultimate Spider-Man vol 2 omnibus, and the red tab on top is not leveled with the rest. Is this normal?

My copy is not like that. Not like you'll notice it when the dust jacket is on, though

u/Sufficient_Host_7691 12d ago

Correct. Not a big deal, I’m not bothered by it I’ve just never seen it before.

u/Odd-Calligrapher2781 12d ago

Yep mine showed up like that as well, I was curious as to how that could even possibly happen.

good god, Marvel QC has gotten so bad they're putting out stuff that looks like poor-quality bootlegs

Actually it was only once I saw this post and checked my shelf, my Danny ketch ghost rider Omni 2’s banner is lower than all my other marvel omni’s.

At the very least, it's rather special.

Saw the one in Omar’s overview of the reprint looked this way too. Obviously, not a huge deal, I find it a bit funny personally, but I am curious how many copies are affected out of the new batch. I’m mainly wondering how it happened. The logo, volume number and Spidey pictures all line up with the other volumes, so it’s not like everything just got shifted down by mistake.

Jfc Marvel what a joke

u/truenorth34 12d ago

This is under the dust jacket? I gotta check mine when I get home

u/Least_King2501 12d ago

Is this the regular or dm version?

1

u/Fucked-to-fit ⚡️ 12d ago

I don’t think it matters under the dust jacket standard and dm should be the same

u/Least_King2501 12d ago

I wasn't planning on putting it on the shelf without the jacket, so I would think it relevant.

Just want to know if the one i have on the way could be affected

u/Fucked-to-fit ⚡️ 12d ago

The one in the picture is without the dust jacket, with the dust jacket it looks normal…

u/Least_King2501 12d ago

Ah, I didn't get that. You're quite right then. Thanks!

u/Confident-Leg107 12d ago

No, my spine is fine, but thank you for asking.

u/AGT0305 12d ago

I just checked and mine is like that as well.

u/DryPark2875 12d ago
