As of today, Archie's official online store have begun offering subscriptions for their upcoming Mega Man comic series. A one year subscription -- twelve issues a year -- costs $22.50 USD. Regularly, subscriptions go for $35.88. The shop notes that it can take up to six to eight weeks in order for a subscription to start up. If you subscribe now, it's more than likely you'll get issue #1 just in time for the planned May 4th release. Subsequent issues will arrive between two to four weeks later.
Currently, subscriptions are only being offered to residents of North America. However, according to tipster Generic Overlord, Archie briefly had the option for an international subscription -- but that has since been removed. Could be a glitch or something, so do pop your head in here every once in a while and see if it comes back.
So, yeah, this is the news many of you have been waiting for. Head on down to Archie's and secure yourself a subscription!
Thanks, Generic Overlord
Yeah!! subscribing right now
ReplyDeleteThe last megaman comic i know of only lasted 4 issues, are we sure this one wont go belly up aswell and then all the subscribers will have lost there money?
ReplyDeleteI don't quite trust the postal service to deliver the comic in a suitable condition. Probably worrying over nothing, but I've got some comics in the mail before with their covers bent and such. Not a pretty thing for a collector and MegaMan collector alike. =/
ReplyDeleteI think that Archie comics, being the decades-old institution that it is, won't act as irresponsibly as Dreamwave. To its subject material, or its customers.
ReplyDeleteWhat, just because the last MM comic was canned that means this one will be, too? Archie isn't on the verge of bankruptcy like Dreamwave.
ReplyDeleteAsian release? PLEASE tell me there will be an Asian release.
ReplyDeleteWhew. Been a long time since I've had a subscription to anything... This'll be fun.
ReplyDelete@ZeroX There are Archie and Sonic Comics in Asian Countries, So there's a guarantee, especially if You're Singaporean or Malaysian
ReplyDeleteJust put in my subscription! Don't worry MegaMac, I used to subscribe to Archie's Sonic Universe comic and all issues came in brand-new condition with no bends.
ReplyDelete"Currently, subscriptions are only being offered to residents of North America and Canada"
ReplyDeleteCanadians are residents of North America...
I don't think this will die 4 issues in, like others said, even if it is a flop, they'd at least do a subscriptions worth of comics.
Oh, woest me, HRaE I live in the Philippines. Hopefully, our nation-wide bookstore will import and sell to us.
