Subscriptions / Preorders
MANAGE COMICS QUICK GUIDE : Click this Link for the full Manage Comics guide. IMPORTANT : Preorders are only accepted if we have your mobile phone number, email and physical address - please make sure we have those details.
First Preorder? Do this
We will send a confirmation email that you will need to reply to confirm your account. Once confirmed your preorders will show on the MY SUBSCRIPTIONS tab
Contact MK1 and make sure we have your physical address and mobile number. Message MK1 shop@mk1.co.nz or use the Chat With Us website messaging.
Not all Items Listed are Available from MK1
Manage Comics listings are created using a data feed from the GEEKFETCH database. We don't have direct control over every individual listing showing.
Not every item showing can be ordered - we will reach out if a request is not available through MK1.
Pricing:
The Price showing is the estimated MK1 price in NZD$. MK1 will reach out if the items price proves wildly different than the estimate - we can cancel your order on request if you are no longer interested.
Subscribe to Series Button
Do you want every issue of a comic series going forward? Press the Subscribe to Series button.
The SUBSCRIBE TO SERIES button is the "set & forget / I want them all" button . If you click on this MK1 will put aside a copy of every new issue released of this title from the next available issue on .
IMPORTANT : The next available issue may not be the next issue to ship - it will be the next issue that hasn't passed it's Final Order Cutoff date. After adding a subscription jump to the MY SUBSCRIPTIONS page and you should be able to see what issue your subscription will start from (it will be marked as first pull). If you want to start from an earlier issue contact MK1 to see if this is possible,
A pop up box will allow subscribers to choose between subscribing to A or B covers (or both). Covers beyond A and B can not be subscribed but can be individually preordered by selecting the PRE ORDER COVER button. The series info will display the next issue due for release up the top of the page along with available to order Variant covers.
Please either subscribe to a series or preorder an individual issue - don't do both unless you want multiple copies of the same comic.
Pre Order Issue or Pre Order Cover button
Single issues and variant covers that can be preordered will have a PRE ORDER ISSUE or a PREORDER COVER button.
Selecting that button will place that issue or cover on order with MK1.
IMPORTANT: If you preorder an issue that you are already subscribed to this will create a second request - which will lead to multiple issues being ordered for you. The easiest way to avoid this is to either Preorder or Subscribe - don't do both!
Final Order Cutoff date
This is the last date that MK1 can adjust our orders for this title. Preorders, or changes to existing preorders for this title should be made before this date.
If the Final Order Cut Off date has passed you can message MK1 (shop@mk1.co.nz or use the Chat With Us website messaging) and we will advise if extra copies will be available or can be sourced.
Handy Hint: MK1 publishes a weekly blog post where we summarize all the major new series from the various publishers that are up for Final Order Cut Off. Check them out here.
No Longer Available For Pre Order Indication
In some instances issues will display as "No longer available for Pre Order" - often because that issue's Final Order Cut Off date has passed. If you are still interested in obtaining this issue message MK1 ( shop@mk1.co.nz or use the Chat With Us website messaging) and we will advise if extra copies will be available or can be sourced.
Shipping Date
This is the release date in the USA (and in USA format Year-Month-Day). If the title releases on time MK1 will receive our copies in the same week as this release date.
DC and Image and some Indie Publishers arrive on the same day as the advertised date.
Marvel, Dark Horse, IDW & the rest of the Indie publishers will arrive on the closest Thursday or Friday following the advertised release date.
