Alrightythen.

Some Rai 0's were printed on glossier paper than others.
Some Rai 0's have a problem with a blurring right side.
Some Rai 0's have a "white shadow" effect.
Some Rai 0's are so badly miscut they have no right side.
...and some are perfectly normal.

Normal and glossy are "visually identical" from a scanner standpoint,
but the other guys can be seen. So here ya go:

Normal and Glossy

Blurry - some are much worse than others, this one is mildly blurry...

White Shadow

Miswrapped and Miscut

So there you have it... all those were found in one of my boxes...
How 'bout yours?

Great catch on the 'white shadow' versions. I need to triple check mine now to see if I have one!:) I was meaning to write to you about the great job you did updating your info on your Rai #0 page. Cudos!---Steve G

I wonder if this will turn around as a "special limited edition" version of the book like the Bloodshot 0 misprint.

I have several 'error' copies of various other comics. The error copies I have are so screwed up in various ways, that they had to be one-of-a-kinds or limited to a much smaller number than 25.

The story was that the "full test print" of 25 copies of Bloodshot 0 Gold
was printed before the "no gold" error was identified and corrected.
So at one time there was supposedly a stack of 25 "test copies"
that had the 'platinum' look due to the absence of gold ink.

Despite a claim that 10 copies were found in addition to the 5 known copies,
none of those 10 copies has been confirmed, so we still have only
5 known copies at this point.
