Before I continue, since this segues nicely into the article I'm posting from Wizard Universe, I've started a standing orders list with Classic Comics. I've found that it's a bit erratic when new comics get "released" and put on the shelves there...it could either be Thursday or Friday...sometimes, with luck, even Wednesday! Meaning if I go down on Thursday and they haven't received OR unpacked the comics yet, it's a wasted trip.
So in one of my recent trips there, the shop owner actually asked if I went there regularly and if I had standing orders with them. He suggested if I did have a couple of monthly comics I bought regularly, to have a standing orders with them because there were a couple of advantages: (1) there was a further discount on comic prices that were on standing order, and (2) comics would be held for you and they WON'T get sold out, unlike if you were a walk-in customer and they had no issues of a particular comic left in stock!
So I've put House of M: Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Marvel Zombies 2, The Ultimates 3 and Ultimate Iron Man II on my standing orders list. Ultimates 3 was released yesterday, so I definitely have myself a copy! Wooooo! I want both covers though!
I believe Ultimate Iron Man II #1 gets released next week. So here's a preview:
