Where Are You Getting Your Dark Horse Comics?

Post by StarBrand »

Where will you be getting your Dark Horse comics from this launch at? I'll be going through Mail Order Comics for mine. If you're using an option not in the poll, just mention it in this thread. Thanks.

Why at two places? :hm: The day Solar 1 comes out I may have to stop in a local shop and pick one up even though I'll have a few other copies coming from MOC.

That's where people thought early Valiants were headed when they first came out, too.

Only Harbinger 1 with coupon, everything else turns up dirt cheap at some point. Just gotta be patient.

My local comic shop. And the cool thing is, this is the first subscription I will have since 2000!!!! It will be interesting to see if more folks return to shops from Shooter's return as well :)

I already have experienced late shipping and a shorted order from mailordercomics and I pre-ordered my books.
I didn't realize Dark Horse sold comics directly. Cool.

Just go to Dark Horse's website, click on upcoming releases under comics, hit pre-order, and you are good to go.
Thanks. :thumb:

Yep. I've changed my mind about who I'm using for internet purchasing of these books. In addition to my lcs, I'll be using TFAW also instead of DCBS. Their preorder service and policies are simple and I like their connection to DH.
