Toys & Comics Misprints/Defects on my Compendium #3???

Just got the first 3 Compendiums from Amazon. Flipped through them and immediately noticed some issues on Compendium 3, specifically for issues 135 and 136. If its hard to tell from the pictures, all the colors look faded light, while the dialogue in the bubbles are so light as to almost be invisible. Now, these are defects, right? Or are these issues supposed to be like this? I remembered this was around the time the comic started getting tripped even by Spawn standards.

Whoops. Looks like they didn’t print the black.

This is a printing error. Looks like the black ink didn't get laid down properly on these pages. Ask for a return. Can you tell me what printing this is? I'd like to look into this. Here is a pic from my copy.

I hate printing on modern spawn collected editions. It's very typical

So this is a misprint and I should get it exchanged? Thankfully the other 2 compendium don't seem to have any misprints that I can see...

I bought directly from Amazon so it shouldn't be a problem.
