ComicSupply is a great place to preorder all your favorite comic books. We understand that you probably have a lot of questions about how it all works, so directly below is some information that will help you switch over to ComicSupply's preorder service.

How do I order?

Ordering is easy - all you need to do is select the items from the PREORDER area that you are interested in. Each month we will have separate categories for you, all conveniently located at the top of the menu to the left.

Preorders are charged when placed, and are generally due at the end of the month (the homepage will indicate the last day to preorder). Preorders must contain only comic books & other items that are available for preordering - if you wish to order additional back issues, comic book supplies or other products, please place a separate order for those. Due to a slew of recent problems, we no longer accept checks or money orders as payment for preorders.

When will I get my preorders?

If you have not upgraded to the weekly shipping option, your preorders will ship during the first two weeks of the month following their release month. The release month is designated by the 3-letter code in the item name, so if the items you preordered start with a code like:


If you have upgraded to the weekly shipping option, your preorders will usually ship the same week they come out - if there are 5 Wednesday's in the month, your preorders will ship during either the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th week, or the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th week.

For preorders that are shipped on a monthly basis, we will not ship them till the whole preorder is complete unless you you have another preorder with us for the next month. If so, we will ship out the books that have come in up to that point, and any books that are late will be included in your next month's preorder.

To get the best benefit of our service you should continue to preorder on a monthly basis.

International Customers

For international customers the preorder discount is the same as the one given to our US customers. However, due to the variations in international shipping costs, we do not currently offer a flat-rate shipping option for international customers, nor do we allow international customers to upgrade to weekly shipping.

Features & benefits of ordering through ComicSupply

Honesty: If you order it and we get it, you'll get it. If a book gets hot before you receive it, we do not indulge in any sort of funny business - you will receive the book you ordered.

Quality: The only people that handle your books are us. Your books are not thumbed through or read, which means that you get the best possible copies. Any books that we wouldn't buy ourselves get shipped back to our distributor.

Bags/Boards: Preordered comic books always ship with free regular bags & boards. During checkout you have the option to upgrade to Mylites2 for the ultimate in archival protection.

Shipping: Flat-rate shipping for US customers is just $4.99.

Cancellations/Resolicits

If a book is cancelled and then later re-solicited, please do not reorder it. If you have ordered a book from us, we will keep that order on file till you receive it. So if you order the same book again you will be sent a duplicate copy.
