Subscriptions

I am thinking about getting a subscription to X-Men Forever, and was wondering if someone who had a Marvel subscription could tell me about how the comic is packaged, how long after release it shows up etc
thanks

It comes in a Clear plastic wrapper, and a thin peice of cardboard for Support.

The earliest any of my subscriptions have come in have been 3 weeks late.

Would you say the condition would be considered NM or VG, not crumpled or anything?

[Personamanx]

It varies, but if it gets crumpled or damaged it's the Postman, or the Post office.

I got my comics from Marvel for a while. I just got fed up with them being late more often than not. There was once or twice where I received an issue early, which was great. Just not enough to keep my subs through them.

I get all my X-books throu subscriptions. i like it it save me the hastle of goin 2 myLCS. mines are usually just a week or 2 late.

I have a sub to XMF and they have been late. If a comic comes out on Wed then I'd expect to see it next Tuesday.

You guys are lucky to have Subscription that come in So Early.

and the reason I got the sub cause I thought I was gonna get my book earlier than anyone else. Sometimes I run to my LCS on the weekends to get the book if I cant wait

[Personamanx]

I could not do that even if I wanted to. I live over an hours drive away from my Not so Local Comic Shop. Hence why I thought a subscription would be better.
Also if one lives outside of The States there is little to no price decrease.

I had subscriptions to Astonishing, Uncanny, and Legacy. My books were late nine out of ten times. The books were horrible beaten to death before they got to me. I did not renew my subscriptions, the savings were not worth the hassle.

Its not a bad idea idea if you don't mind getting your books late. I used to get mine on the day of or even before the release date before last March, but have been getting it from 1-3 weeks late since March. No problems with condition, but I think it just depends on your postman. I have gotten used to the lateness since it kind of evens out the time in between comics. You may not get them on the release date, but there will be a month in between issues.

[scott lantern]

Maybe I will just Trade-Wait it then

The Real question is Do you live in a Major US city? If so then I'd imagine everything would be good.

[CaptWolvey10]

I think its the closer that you live to NY would been the determining factor to how fast you get the books since that's where they ship them from.
