Do you offer submission forms for preorders it holds. I had asked for a certain cover to be held, but when I picked it up it wasn’t the cover I requested. There are more variants that I would like to purchase locally, but I don’t want to encounter that mishap again
Yes, we do offer preorders as well as an ongoing subscription service. For the latter, you just need to stop by and fill out a submission form (or print one off our website and drop it off or scan/email it back to us!). In the meantime, what issue and cover were you looking for? If were are still able to order it, I would like to get the correct issue so we can make your order right. I am sorry for the mix-up!
Comic covers can unfortunately be tricky. We do our best to get everybody the specific cover they want, but sometimes we don’t receive all the varied covers for an issue at the same time. Sometimes the publisher changes the artist or design of a cover between the time it was ordered and the time it ships. Other times we may not have any copies of a particular cover on order at all, if no one pre-ordered that cover by the time of our final order cutoff date...
And then there are incentive variants. Often we don’t order enough copies to qualify for the rarest covers -- and we cannot pre-order and hold incentive covers for customers. There’s just no way for us to do that fairly, given that the number of copies we receive are usually fewer than the number of customers we have interested! The only way we could hold an incentive cover for someone would be if they pre-order (and, of course, then purchase!) the number of copies needed to qualify for that cover. Then we’ll be happy to get you the corresponding incentive variant, too! Just keep in mind that should you choose that option, you’ll need to have your order in before the publisher’s final order cutoff date so we can order enough extra copies!
