'Return of Wolverine' #1 Misprinted With Some 'Star Wars: Doctor Aphra' Pages
Wolverine’s hot claws meet Star Wars lightsabers in one Marvel Comics issue releasing this week.
The “crossover” was unintentional. A printing error on the Steve McNiven variant cover editions of the second printing of Return of Wolverine #1 replaced pages 2-3 and 38-39 of the book with the same pages from Star Wars: Doctor Aprha #25.
The error was noticed too late in the process to correct before the books were shipped to retailers. Marvel will send out replacement copies to retailers next week, with no expectation that the misprinted copies be returned.
Here’s the text from the update that was sent out to retailers:
“Due to a printer error, Return of Wolverine #1 2nd Prg. McNiven Variant (AUG188395) had pages 2-3 and 38-39 accidentally replaced with pages 2-3 and 38-29 of Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #25. The misprint was not detected before the book shipped to retailers for its in-store date of October 24.
Corrected replacement copies will arrive with
Retailers do not have to return misprinted copies.”
So this isn’t exactly the X-Men vs. Star Wars crossover fans may have been hoping for, but it is also quite possibly the closest they’ll ever get to it.

He did a new design for one of Logan's outfits in the story that I love, and he'll get to choreograph a massive battle sequence with the X-Men, too. Declan's wonderful, and he'll do a hell of a job.”
