Shipping is not too much and the service is great: $4 per item, $4 per shipment for books.

Thanks Charlie Brown. The only problem is that I don't have a checking account.

You can get Amazon gift cards at Kroger or Walgreens in $25 or $50 amounts. That is the way I pay for Amazon orders. The balance that you do not use never expires.
Charlie Brown
I use the same way for iTunes. Works great.

If you are in the United States, shipping is free for orders over $25, and most everything is discounted from cover price.
Roger North
That sounds cool Rancid Duck.

It's probably worth noting that Boom is no longer taking subscription orders for DuckTales, and the subscriptions they're offering for Darkwing Duck are only for issues #13-16.
Roger North
That's a shame snowpeck. Does this mean they are going to be cancelled soon?

I hope not, but it doesn't look good.

It's the same thing that happened to Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, and the regular standard character titles, right before Boom canceled those books.

If they cancel all of their Disney Comics they are going to lose their license. I wonder if Marvel is going to take that license after that happens.

The Boom website says the 12-issue DuckTales subscriptions are "sold out". So they only had a limited number of subscriptions they could offer? Looks like they came up with a new way of avoiding questions dealing with their Disney books .... have something sell out before it's even published.

So the last Darkwing issue will be #16 .... what will the last DuckTales issue be? I'm guessing #8 since they're starting a new story arc in #5 and they generally have been good about letting story arcs complete themselves (unlike some other publishers; have to give them credit for that).

Did anyone actually purchase a 12-issue DuckTales subscription? If so, are they going to be refunded the cost of the unpublished copies? One thing I'll never forget is how Gemstone honored unfilled Gladstone subscriptions. That was a class act.

Huh. DuckTales #2 must've sold horribly if they already plan to cancel it. IMO wasn't much of an improvement over #1, but I still say they should give it a chance.

Well, inasmuch as they're losing the license next year anyway, it's clear that they don't have any interest in building up any sort of brand; at this point, they're just doing their best to suck whatever short-term profit they can out of the thing. If you ask me, it's dickish behavior, but you didn't ask me.
Anyway, I suppose it's the American Way.

I'm unsure that Darkwing Duck and Ducktales are ending. When Rescue Rangers was not sollicited, the subscriptions didn't appear on the site anymore. Here, the Ducktales subscriptions are saying "sold out". Maybe they just manage subscriptions the same way they do books, and forgot to push back the "units available" limits.
Well, I guess we'll know soon enough because Darkwing Duck #17 should be on the next Previews this month. (or not, if it's cancelled)
