What is a subscription?
We now offer customers the chance to sign up to receive their favourite comics every month. This is the easiest way to get comic titles without the worry of placing an order each time a comic issue is listed.

If you set up a subscription with us we’ll create an order on your behalf once per month for all the comics you’ve subscribed to that have upcoming releases. Comics are generally solicited two months in advance by Diamond (the main UK supplier of comics) and UK retailers need to order our comics that far in advance in order to secure copies of those comics, in the same way that we do for our subscription customers, so there is a delay of 8-10 weeks between confirming your subscription and receiving your comic. Once you’ve confirmed your subscriptions with us we’ll continue to generate orders for you as long as the series continues, and regularly email you with updates on your orders.

You can also browse though all of our available subscriptions, including titles from Marvel, DC, Dynamite, IDW, Dark Horse, Image and Boom! Studios and independent comics publishers. You’re now subscribed, and ready to add your comics.
