Comes Great Responsibility!
Sub Changes
One of the main responsibilities of the Acme subscriber is
maintaining and updating your subscription list!
Some of you keep
a super-tight list and can truly sit back and leave the heavy lifting
to us. But lately we've seen too many people miss out on too many of
the titles they were most looking forward to, simply because they didn't
let us know what they wanted and didn't add the book to their
subscription list! Here's some tips:
- You can add any title to your subscription list as soon as it's listed in the Previews catalogue. This gives us 2 months of notice that you'd like to get a new title and ensures that we'll be ordering a copy with you specifically in mind (Previews can also be added to your sub list at any time). And it lets us know that there is actual pre-buzz behind something.
- If you thought about emailing to reserve something, but decided not to, we're here to tell you that ten to twenty other people had that same thought and actually did contact us to reserve YOUR copy! Don't be a hero, tell us what you need and we'll use all our powers to make it so.
- The latest we like to hear from you regarding sub changes is first thing Wednesday morning via e-mail. Pre-noon calls while we literally have our hands full of books slows this well-oiled machine down. Think about what you were meaning to ask us about and click "reply" right.........NOW!
- An
updated list is a healthy list. Ask for a copy of your pulls at any
time so you can remove titles that have already concluded or are not
holding up. Ask us what we know about what is to come on a series.
Suggested Additions
Below is a list of some titles that have been consistently selling out or we expect to have last minute interest that you should consider adding to your list immediately:
-  Kill Shakespeare from IDW. After the NPR piece, people who have never been in a comic shop before are scooping you guys! Watch this one close!
- Young Avengers: Children's Crusade. Heinberg, Cheung, just like old times.
- Unwritten. After a recent article, this is the new Vertigo everyone is talking about other than Joe the Barbarian!
- Hawkeye and Mockingbird. If you're in for Avengers, this one my Jim McCann is going to come out swinging!
- Casanova Icon re-issue! Matt Fraction's creator owned series completely remastered as issues with new extras!
- True Blood. Does anyone know what this is? I don't know what this is. There's a comic on the way though.
- Zatanna. Who knew so many people loved Zatanna? And Paul Dini? Re-orders for #1 come in tomorrow!
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE FINAL RING RELEASE!Â
Once again you and your families reached down and gave to those in need! Now that this promotion is over, we'll tally up exactly how much canned food you donated. We think you'll be surprised!
