We will have a monthly article right here on the website for you to have a peek at. For those who don’t know, the comic industry is built on a pre-order system. We will have the Previews books sent to us, and then we place an order for upcoming titles two months in advance.
This advance monthly order is the only way to 100% guarantee that we can source specific books for our customers, so the earlier we receive preorders the better!
So if any of the following recommended titles appeal to you, do get in touch and let us know if you’d like them added to your pull list. Don’t have a pull list? Get in touch and we can guide you through it. At Coffee & Heroes, we have no minimum or maximum books required in order to set up a pull list with us.
