Quicker delivery on Justice League #13. It came out last Weds & I got it today, so 5 days.

But Wonder Woman #13 came out the same day & I didn't get it yet.

Weird that they don't ship books that come out the same day together? I would want that simply b/c the way it's shipped is so flimsy, perhaps 2 books in the same package would be sturdier.

You'd think that would be efficient & save on postage, but it's not what they do.

I suspect the individual issues are packed/addressed by machine from a big hopper of the individual issues & combining things would require some amount of human intervention.

Still no JL13 for me. I wonder if I should contact Tanga or wait and see if 14 shows up next month. Thus far of the five I've ordered only Batman has shown up.

While I'm sure there's a pattern to it, it appears random what titles start your subscription on which issue.

I think when my subs run out I'll go back to normal DCBS ordering for them even if they do the 1$ an issue deal again. The small savings get minimized when you buy the same book twice due to the overlap from starting and stopping.

Well, I'm so far so good - it was a bit of a treat when the books showed up outside of my usual DCBS schedule. Have they done these kind of sales before?

PS. where in Western NY are you from, Boshuda? I went to school in Buffalo & Ithaca (although I guess Ithaca is "central") NY.

Tanga did a few titles on sale like this about one year ago. Green Lantern and Dark Knight were two that I subscribed to this year and last. Seems to be an annual thing, if you take a pattern of two to be a pattern .

It is nice when you open your mailbox and see the familiar DC packaging, I'll agree.

I'm smack dab in the middle of Rochester and Syracuse. I work in Rochester and go to grad school part time at Rochester Institute of Technology. I've been to Buffalo, never to Ithaca. A lot of the guys I work with went to Buffalo. Based on their knowledge it seems like a good school to go to for engineering.

Wonder Woman 13 showed up in the ol' mailbox yesterday. A great issue.

Wonder Woman 13 and Justice League 13 appeared for me today.

Got Wonder Woman yesterday, so:
Action #13 - 12 days
JL #13 - -5 days
WW #13 8 days

Weird part is the 3-day difference between JL & WW that were released on the same day.

I would add that though the corner of Action was tweaked, the other comics came in "off the shelf at the LCS" condition.

Maybe that extra 5 days of kicking around the postal system just increased the chances of that copy of Action getting bumped.

Justice League 13 arrived in great shape yesterday. So far it's been a pretty good deal. Still waiting on Aquaman and Dark Knight but they may not have hit the shelves yet.

I should add that occasionally they (tanga) run insane subscription deals. I picked up 3 and four year subscriptions to Rolling Stone, ESPN magazine and Taste of Home, for under $20 each (as in roughly $4/year). All depends on if it's something you want to read, of course.

Batman 14 came out on the 14th, and JL 14 came out on the 21st. Still don't have either. Anyone who ordered these have either?

Nope. I just got Action #14 today. It arrived in "off the rack" shape, no bangs or dented corners.
