In-Store Subscription Service

In-Store Subscription Service

What are comic book Subscriptions, anyway?
To ensure you receive every issue of every title you follow, Fantom Comics offers a service of holding the books aside for you. You can then come in at your leisure and pick up your comics, without fear that the hottest new issues have already sold out.

How do I sign up for the Subscription service?
All of our subscribers are managed through the comixology.com website. Go to our Comixology Instructions page to learn the easy steps.

What are the deadlines for Subscribing to titles?
Please go to our Ordering Deadlines page for details.

Is there a minimum to how many books I can subscribe to?
Absolutely not! We have many subscribers who subscribe to just 1 title (Buffy fans are a good example…though we encourage them to try Fables, so they don’t usually stay monogamous).

How often do I have to pick up my Subscriptions?
Fantom is pretty liberal on this policy. The short answer is 4 weeks. After 4 weeks we’ll be getting in touch with you to find out what the deal is. Once we get to know you, and if you let us know ahead of time of expected delays, we can work with you and your schedule.

Are there discounts on Subscriptions?
The short answer is no. Fantom realized very quickly that we have many loyal, cash-dropping customers who buy trades or periodicals off the rack, and we didn’t want to discriminate against them. So Fantom Comics offers Fantom Rewards instead. For every $75 you spend, you receive a $5 gift card. This works out to a 6.25% discount on anything and everything in the store whether you subscribe to books or just stop in once every 6 months to pick up a trade or two. Ask us for your Fantom Rewards card, and we will sign you up right away (there’s no cost, of course).

What if I want to cancel my Subscriptions?
Please – PLEASE – alert the clerk at the store or email Fantom Comics at subscriptions@fantomcomics.com that you intend to drop your subscription(s). We won’t judge you. We won’t try to hard sell you into returning. We won’t even make you pick up what’s left in your folder. But it is a huge help to us to know you won’t be returning so we don’t continue to hold books for you (and therefore not sell them to others) for 4 more weeks.

What’s the deal with tie-ins, mini-series, annuals, one-shots and subsequent series?
In the past, Fantom has strived to predict books our customers would want and supply them just in case. With Comixology allowing you to take control of your orders, Fantom Comics now takes your requests very literally! If you subscribe to Klokel Komix, but not to the 4-part miniseries Klokel Komix does Disneyland, Fantom will not make the connection unless you yourself subscribe to the miniseries through Comixology. Comixology is trying to make this as easy as possible. Currently, you can request all annuals and mini-series (when they exist) for ongoing titles. Hopefully they will also have a Crossover option as well for big events (like Civil War or Blackest Night). Until then, the responsibility to sign up falls on you. Fantom will do its best, however, to send out lists of upcoming Tie-Ins and Crossovers to its email list.
