Hey, what's up, comic fans!
Happy September! We've been working hard to make some big improvements to your shopping experience this month, starting with a major update to our shipping options.
Free Shipping Just Got Better
As of September 1st, 2025, at 8:00 AM (Pacific), we've dropped our free Economy Shipping threshold from $79 down to just $50! This is for orders placed after that time. We know how much you love getting your comics without paying for shipping, so we're making it easier than ever to fill up your collection.
But wait, there's more! For a limited time we will be offering.
-
Free Standard Shipping (3-4 days) is now available on orders over $100.
-
Free Express Shipping (1-2 days) is now available on orders over $150.
These new free shipping tiers are our way of saying thanks for your continued support as we head into the busy holiday season. We've got our routine down to prevent delays, but as order volume increases, we'll keep you updated on any potential changes. Remember, the estimated delivery dates at checkout include our average 2-business-day processing time.
The King of Pre-Orders Has Arrived!
Get ready, Spawn fans! We are now taking pre-orders for King Spawn #50! The release date is October 15th, and we've already placed our store's order, which means our site's ratio variants are based on that order. Once they're gone, they're gone for good.
Here's the most exciting part: Todd McFarlane has announced that he will not be signing any King Spawn #50 covers other than the ones available in these pre-orders. This is a rare opportunity to own a verified, signature-series-ready copy straight from the source. The 1:1000 and 1:250 variants even qualify for free Express Shipping, giving you plenty of time to get them graded via the CGC Signature Series.
We'll be offering a similar pre-order for the upcoming Gunslinger Spawn #50 and The Scorched #50 issues once we have the details.
We're Expanding Our Horizons with Shopify Collective
As many of you know, we've been using Shopify to power our store since we started in 2017. Over the years, we've been lucky enough to participate in beta testing some of their new services, including Shopify Collective.
This service allows us to feature products from other trusted Shopify merchants on our site. Due to the recent turmoil with Diamond Comic Distributors, some smaller publishers have started using Shopify Collective to continue offering their amazing titles directly. While we don't physically carry these items ourselves, we're excited to connect you with other high-quality shops that offer items we know you'll love!
To make it easy, we've added a "Shipper" tag on every product page. If it says "Black Dragon Comics," your item is covered by our complimentary shipping insurance. If the shipper is another merchant, please note that while we'll help you with any issues, the final resolution for lost or damaged packages will be handled by the original seller. Rest assured, all merchants in the Collective must meet strict guidelines to be included.
We appreciate you taking the time to read through all these updates. We hope these changes make it even more enjoyable to shop with us.
If you have any questions about the new shipping tiers, pre-orders, or anything else, feel free to drop us a line!
