Image Comics Launches Mail-Order Subscription Service Image Direct

Whether you like it or not, digital comics are rapidly becoming all the rage. It's quick to get a book, easy to read and a breeze to stay up to date on the newest issues. Still, there are some out there who like a print book, but aren't exactly able to get to the comic book store every week. Image Comics has you covered, as they're launching a brand-new, mail-order subscription service called Image Direct. The new service offers readers the chance to purchase 12-issue subscriptions to their favorite Image comics and have them mailed to their door

“Even with all the wonderful work our retailer partners in the Direct Market do, the number one comment we get from fans is they frequently can’t find the Image titles they’re looking for,” said Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics. “Given that there are fewer comic book stores than ever before, we’re hoping that Image Direct makes our titles available to fans who don’t have easy access to a local comic book store, or whose shop doesn’t carry the full range of Image titles.”

Image Direct will allow subscribing readers to receive the latest issues of over 35 titles, including The Walking Dead, Saga, Sex Criminals, Wytches, Black Science, Velvet, Rat Queens and more, immediately upon release. Subscribers will receive discounts of up to 30% off and will have the option to subscribe to every available title and receive 35% off. Image Direct launches today. Readers interested in subscribing to the service can find more information on how to sign up here: http://subscriptions.imagecomics.com/.
