    It was a rhetorical question guys, I didn't think that needed to be said
    My point was if I'm paying for a $20 steak I shouldnt be served a squashed $2 maccas cheeseburger.
    Sure both put food in your stomach, but when you're paying for (what is supposed to be) quality you should be getting quality.
    Yeah I'm a perfectionist at times, but when one is paying this sort of money why shouldn't one expect high quality with minimal mistakes (rhetorical).
    Minimal meaning someone being the wrong shade of blue in some panels then the correct shade in others. Whole stories in the wrong place showing characters that are dead suddenly alive again is not what I'd call "minimal".

    I wont get into legal debates here but suffice to say I dont care about the legality of reading a 20-30 year old comic online/downloading it.
    Now if someone can tell me that they'll be reprinting the issues that have the wrong comics in them to put them in order then sure I might bite, but for me them being out of order like that in a way that I cant put them in the right order (other then in my head or while reading) is a bit of a deal breaker.

    At this point based on what is actually in print, when complete 1 out of 80 volumes will have an 11 page story in a spot that, chronologically, is incorrect.

    That volume has been in print long enough that if they were going to fix it (like they have for some volumes and pulled some in advance) they would have done so by now.

    So far this is the only glaring problem with the volumes currently released in the UK, but if that's a deal breaker, than I'd suggest not spending over a grand on this series, and buying the IDW reprints instead.
