    Default why do comic companies have the worst selection of subscription titles?

    but the best method(i prefer being charged once a year as opposed to once a month for every title)

    Since Ultimate Spider-Man Marvel has not even dared to update their list

    DC? Since they relaunched the website in march several titles are missing and they've basically stated that the current list is all they have to offer for the next few months despite the fact it's missing several titles like batwoman animal man swamp thing justice league dark and the second wave titles....

    i don't wanna have to use another site that will probably charge me more often for my comics just because the comic company itself is too lazy to keep itself updated

    They seem to be just starting to take the internet seriously. I see it outside comics too, where the industry leader in a particular product has a draconian website you can't even order from, and they still insist you call someone on the phone to place an order, while their cheap Chinese competitor has an incredibly polished website and marketplace. Self defeating really.

    McDonalds. They don't have subscription services for anything!

    it just makes no sense to me....DC seems to have no interest in allowing people to subscribe to the second wave titles and they've removed titles like batwoman justice league dark swamp thing and animal man from the online list that makes even less sense

    it's not like the titles they removed were unpopular and in danger of being canceled so why remove them and never add them back.....it's been like that since the website relaunched

    Action Comics
    Batman
    Detective Comics
    Justice League
    DC Universe
    Batgirl
    Batman and Robin
    Batman: The Dark Knight
    Catwoman
    The Flash
    Green Arrow
    Green Lantern
    Green Lantern Corps
    Nightwing
    Supergirl
    Superman
    Teen Titans
    Wonder Woman

    those are the only titles DC currently offers on the website....is that really what you call a diverse line up?

    Subscriptions are a small part of their business. They really don't want to mess with it. With the number of mail order services out there, I'd be willing to bet that "i don't wanna have to use another site that will probably charge me more often for my comics" is likely untrue. I know in the past, Marvel's subscription department had a HORRIBLE reputation.

    All of this has been explained to the OP at least a dozen times. Instead of actively trying to change his situation by emailing mail order companies and asking if he can pay in advance or switching to Comixology, he chooses to complain about it every month or two.
