Comic shops around the world place orders for new product 2 months before release (e.g. placing orders in April for June releases). This is a huge amount of time between when we place the order and when it arrives on the shelf. This is why more often than not new products are SOLD out week of release, and even before the new issue or trade paperback reaches the shelf.

We've come up with a way to ensure customers don't miss out with Early Pre-orders. This is an opportunity for you to look through all the upcoming releases and place an order for whichever comics, covers, new items you want. On top of being able to plan your month in advance and control exactly what you want to continue collecting we are giving Early pre-orders the option of bigger discounts.

Here is a quick overview of discount tiers:

1. Spend $95 and receive free shipping on your order
2. Spend over $150 & receive 10% off with code
3. Spend over $250 & receive 15% off with code
4. Spend over $350 & receive 20% off with code
5. Spend over $450 & receive 25% off with code

This has the ability to benefit so many of our customers, regulars as well as Standing Order customers. Budgeting comic books each month becomes a challenge the more you order (we know, we are absolutely some of the most addicted comic collectors!).

Here is a look at how you can make this Early Pre-Order system work for you:

Place the entire months pre-order all together and if you are close enough to the shop, select pick-up at checkout. We'll fulfill all your new releases each week they arrive and send you an email saying they are ready for collection. You can pick-up each week, fortnightly, or at the end of each month. You've already locked in and paid for your comics! No missing out, no worry about pre-ordering week of release, or adding to your pull list before final order cutoff (FOC).

Place an entire months Early Pre-order all together and have it shipped out once all the items arrive. Free standard shipping is available for ALL orders over $95. Place a $450 Early Pre-order and you'll have access to 25% off AND free standard shipping.

Want to receive your orders weekly or fortnightly? Place separate orders, one for each weeks worth of issues. Once all the pre-orders arrive we will ship your order to you.

Want to order new Omnibuses, Library editions, Trade paperbacks, Hardcovers? You CAN! Even better than knowing you will receive the new Direct Market edition Omnibus? You'll also have access to the Early Pre-order discount tiers. Save money on these big ticket items simply by purchasing early.

Want better access to small press comics? We do too! These will be available in the Early Pre-Orders. A chance to order any of the comics you haven't seen much of in Australia. Don't miss out on a series just because it doesn't have a big following. (Also note these small press comics may not be available outside of Early Pre-orders.)

Are you someone who likes to collect only #1's or have 2 copies of a comic to keep one looking pristine (or for the next generation)? You can purchase the first issue of every series and then only continue collecting the series you love most. No pressure to continue a series as you will be in complete control of your months order.

Like to follow specific creative teams and artists? You can easily order and collect only specific variants.

We hope you enjoy the Early Pre-orders as much as we do! Try it out and let us know what works best for you.
