What Th'...?
I would love to post a review of The Question #4 today, but somebody somewhere screwed something up, and my copy had 8 of its pages swapped with 8 pages from Grant Morrison and Phillip Bond's upcoming comic, Vimanarama! I did get a surprise preview of that book, which was nice. But it also would have been nice to know what was going on in the missing pages of The Question story. Maybe when Vimanarama comes out, it will have the missing Question pages? Hmmm...
Did this happen to anybody else?

If there was only one flawed copy on the rack and I read the Question, I would have gotten it, because I have Charlie Brown Karma.
As someone who works in printing, though, I sincerely doubt it was a one-time thing. I would wager the whole batch was corrupt, which means either the printers screwed up and didn't even notice (sloppy, but certainly not impossible), or reprinted them and didn't completely destroy all the screwy ones, causing some schmoe to get confused and ship some (or all) of them. Happens more often than you'd want to know.

My first thought was that Quebecor must have printed it.

They do the printing for most US comic companies, so it's not impossible.

Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey's Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
