Earth 519 Subscriptions
How it works
What if your comic shop came to YOU? That's the premise behind Earth 519 Comics, your local comic shop, right at your door. We deliver comics to you, and we provide you the same friendly service that you would get at your shop...but wherever you are!
What do I do?
Choose the titles you want to collect, then sit back as they start to get pulled for you. You'll get an invoice from our team, be able to pay for it right online, and then like magic, your comics will get shipped to you!

How do Subscriptions work?
With Earth 519 subscriptions, you build a list of the comics and magazines you would like to get each month. Every week when new comics arrive we will bag, board, and set aside all items you have specified.
When your billing cycle comes up (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) we will send out a bill which you will pay by following the instructions on the email. Once the bill is paid we will ship out your comics.
We place them in a protective bag, wrap them up in bubble wrap, put them in a box, and deliver them out. We’ve sent dozens of packages this way and have never experienced a damaged delivery. If you want to add or subtract a title, you can do so online, and we will make sure you get your books.
How can I add a series to my list?
Browse or search for the comics you want, add the title you want by clicking “Subscribe” or in the case of TPB's and One-Shots "Pre-Order", and you are set up.
Your first pull for a new series will start 3 weeks after you first add it to your list.
When will I get my first order?
It takes a minimum of 3 weeks for us to get your first issue in (so if you sign up today, the absolute first time a copy will come in for you is 3 weeks from today), but not every comic comes out every week.
If you are on monthly shipping, your first order will likely be billed 5-7 weeks from when you first sign up.
How often will I get my comics?
You can choose from weekly, twice monthly, or monthly. We will pack your bagged and boarded comics in another bag, put bubble wrap around them, and fit them in our custom built boxes. If you’re just getting one or two comics, you’ll get those in a custom built rigid mailer that keeps shipping costs under control.
We cannot hold shipments for more than one month, we will not combine shipping among months, and one-off items you add to your order do not count towards the free shipping tier.
When will I get charged for my subscriptions?
Your comics will be billed to you based on your shipping schedule. If you are weekly, we will bill you weekly. Twice monthly? We bill you twice a month. Monthly? Yup, you guessed it, we will bill you monthly.
For twice monthly orders, we bill on the Wednesday closest to the 15th, and the last Wednesday of the month.
For monthly orders, we bill on the last Wednesday of the month.
You will get an email that will have a link to your account with your current total. Orders are not processed until they’re paid for.
Will I get the next issue that is being released if I sign up today?
There is a three week wait between the time you order a comic and the time we can pull the next issue for you.
We have to deal with a cut-off date called “Final Order Cut Off” (or FOC) from our distributor, which means we have to have our final numbers to them three weeks in advance.
For some comics we order a few extra copies, but for the majority of comics, we order the number of copies that our customers have pre-ordered.
Will I get a discount?
We offer a 10% discount if you are subscribed to 10 or more active titles. An active title is a series that has come out in the last 30 days or will come out in the next 90 days (yes, this means Saga sometimes does not count towards an active subscription).
