What is a "Comic Subscription"?
A Comic Subscription lets you subscribe to a huge selection of comic titles, e.g. Amazing Spider-Man, Mighty Avengers, Action Comics etc. You can view your current Comic Subscription at any time by logging in to your free Economic Comics Member Account.
You may subscribe to any number of titles, and you can cancel at any time (but why would you want to?!)
Each month, we publish a list of comics due for release - to guarantee your copy, you must get us your request for any new titles by the published deadline date. Requests received after this date will still probably be filled, but are not guaranteed.
A Pull List contains all individual comics that we currently are holding for you (that is, those comics that have not yet been dispatched). You can view your Pull List by logging in to your free Economic Comics Member Account.
When we send you a delivery, your Pull List will be converted into an Order. You will be able to view your complete Order History by logging in to your free Economic Comics Member Account.
When will the comics in my Pull List be dispatched?
This depends on the Shipping Frequency you have chosen (weekly, fortnightly or monthly). We aim to add comics to your Pull List within 24 hours of us receiving them (usually either a Thursday or Friday), and will then e-mail your invoice to you as soon as possible afterwards.
Can I cancel a title?
Of course you can! Simply send us a message using the Contact Us page, and we will remove that title from your Subscription. However, we ask you pay for all comics that have already been reserved for you in your Pull List. IMPORTANT - If you cancel a title, you may not re-add it to your subscription for a period of 7 days.
Are there any conditions?
We are very flexible, and don't have many rules. REMEMBER : you can add and remove titles from your Subscription whenever you like! If you're not sure, just send us a message, and ask.
The Rules!
1. You must pay for all comics that have been reserved for you in your Pull List.
2. If you cancel a title from your Subscription, you may not re-add it for a period of 7 days.
3. If you request an item less than 12 hours before it's release day, you will be charged our normal retail price for that item (usually 5% more than the advance price). For example, if a comic is released on Thursday, you must request it by NOON on the Wednesday before to benefit from the cheaper price.
However, even our normal retail prices are pretty cheap!
