How to Subscribe with Comic City

Local Store Pickup Only

Step 1: Register an account

First provide us with your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address in the form below. Be sure to enter the correct store location where you will be picking up. We order books specifically for subscription files, and you have to pick them up where your file is. Your base store cannot fluctuate from one to another. The office use location is for internal store processing, and is not a customer option.

Step 2: Select Your Titles

Choose your favorites from our massive list of titles broken down by publisher and imprints, including comics and magazines.

Titles that are not listed in the online system may still be available, but requests should go through your base store, to check availability and to make payment. The online subscription system is not a shopping cart, it's only to manage your monthly comic subscriptions.

Once you've selected your titles, you'll need to hit the "Activate" button to make your account live!

Please be sure to review the Terms & Policies below prior to placing any subscriptions. Use of our subscription & ordering services will be considered acceptance of the terms & policies.

Comic Book Subscriptions:

Reading & Collecting comics is a fun hobby, but sometimes it’s hard keeping track of everything coming out. With Manage Comics from Comic City, you can control your list yourself, and have a better picture of what’s waiting in-store for you.

Go here https://managecomics.com/comic-city to start your file. All pull files are for store pickup only, you must choose the local store for your books to be picked up from. 

COMICS RELEASE EVERY WEDNESDAY: Fill out a subscription and we will pull it on its release date and hold it for you behind the counter. There is no additional cost for this service. This is a great way to ensure you get an entire series and don’t miss any issues.

NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS: On boarding a new subscription typically takes 21 days (per typical publisher FOC Final Order Cut-off dates). Your subscription will start with the next orderable issue, which is not necessarily the next available issue. When you add a new subscription it will say “first pull” and indicate the date. We will attempt to start all subscriptions sooner, depending on available stock already ordered.

EASY ONLINE MANAGEMENT:  Subscribe to comics, special order volumes, manage and view your subscriptions, view your upcoming pulls all on our new web portal at https://managecomics.com/comic-city

On the day of release you will receive an email listing what new comics have been put aside for you, so you can make plans to come into the store to pick them up.
