Sometimes it's nice to be forgotten

Remember when I was annoyed that no one was taking my interest in getting subscriptions to comics seriously? Well one family member didn't shop at all this year and said we'd get to choose our gifts. I chose to get Justice League International and Red Hood and the Outlaws through the mail. Hopefully they will arrive on time as their my current favorite books. I hate waiting to read them because it means I have to avoid all the spoilers. I only had a subscription once before, through Marvel, and I never paid attention to the release dates back then. I might get annoyed if it's a week or two.

But getting these two through the mail will help me hold onto a couple of series since I was considering cutting a couple due to costs.

  1. I know with my two that I am getting through Barnes and Noble they run about a week behind. Generally I get them on the Tuesday after they are released.

    I just picked up several more though the DC website as a Christmas gift as well. I have yet to receive any. I ordered them about a month ago so as soon as I receive my first I will let you know. JLI is one that I am getting as well so I will let you know when I get my first issue.

  2. Did you order it a week before JLI or during that week? Ever since I got spoiled on RHATO I've been trying to get favorites ASAP. For some reason there are very few spoilers I have to look out for with the rest.

  3. It was the week after Thanksgiving when I placed the order. So I may or may not get the issues starting this week. I know the two with B&N ran at least an issue behind before I started getting them through the mail. Green Arrow ran two behind if I remember correctly. There are some real benefits to doing the mail thing (mainly you save a ton of $). I am able to continue getting a few of mine I was going to cut out because of doing the but 4 get the 5th for free.

  4. It's always nice to get something that you really want!

  5. Jimmy: I might get JLI at my LCS this week just in case it starts next month.

    Sally: Yep! I may not be surprised but at least I know I'm getting something I like/

  6. I wanted to let you know that I contacted DC to see if I was going to be missing any issues and they said they actually were sending me 4 and 5. So you may not miss any. You may want to call them and check. I wasted several bucks by getting the 4's. Oh well.
