Subscription Policies

Since the middle of 2000, Metropolis Comics and Phantom Studios have implemented a formalized subscription policy. This policy has two purposes. First, it allows us to continue to serve your collecting needs without over ordering our products. Second, it protects you from mismanagement and explains, up front, what is expected of you, as a subscriber.

The actual text of the subscription will be posted here for you to read, sign, and mail/fax to us. It is not intended to scare you away, but it is designed to protect you.

Here are a few highlights:

  • A basic subscription grants you a 10% discount on comics (new and back issues,) videos, toys, supplies, shirts, and general merchandise. Video games have a 5% savings.
  • Any major changes (such as discounts and pick-up schedules) will be presented, in writing, no less than 30 days prior to their going into effect.
  • Please keep your information up to date. If you move, or your phone number changes, please let us know. We cannot be held responsible for inaccurate information. Nor can we be expected to know when these change, without prior notification.
  • Your subscription will begin with the next available issue, which will be at least a two months after subscribing. This is the average lead time for new orders to be processed.
  • You may cancel at anytime. In most cases, this will be an immediate end to your chosen title(s). There are very few exceptions to this. Those exceptions will be made known to you at the time of the order, or as soon as is reasonably possible. These are most notable for import magazines.

    The sooner you tell us about dropping a title, the better.
