Help with buying comics?
I don't read a lot of comics, and the few I do get interested in, I usually just pick up as trades and collections down the road well after their original running dates. So the whole concept of picking up single issues on a regular basis is kinda foreign to me. but with the Dark Cybertron ending and turning back into MTMTE and RID, and especially with the Windblade miniseries coming out very soon, I've gotten far enough down the rabbit hole to finally give it a shot.
So my question is, how the hell does it work, anyway? Do you preorder issues to reserve a copy at your local comic shop? Can you set up some sort of subscription thing for certain series to be picked up every Wednesday (is it still Wednesday as well for Canada, by the way)?
On a related note for anyone around the GTA, what are some recommended comic shops around here (if there are any around Mississauga or Brampton, that would be awesome)? I'm aware of a few downtown shops like Silver Snail, The Beguiling and One Million Comix, but which do you guys rely on for getting single issues regularly?
Sorry for being a total comics newbie, but I look forward to remedying that very soon!
