Subscribing to comics

by Alric Knebel <alric@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 4, 2008 at 02:28 PM

I've decided I'm going to subscribe to some comic books, especially 
Batman.  I have several questions I'd like to ask you guys.

The first one and the most im****tant one is, when these comics are 
****pped, what is the packaging like that preserves their neatness.  I 
subscribe to THE ROLLING STONE, and sometimes that cover isn't in the 
best shape by the time it gets here.  Now, it's TRS, and I'm not 
collecting them, so I really don't care.  But I have a different 
affection for comic books.  I treat them the same way I do any other 
book, and I like them to remain neat, as near pristine as possible.  I 
have some paperbacks that if you didn't see the crease on the spine, you 
wouldn't even know they'd been read.  I don't do that intentionally, 
it's just that I'm naturally neat.  I only have a couple of comic books 
at this point, but I love Batman in particular.  I want to both read 
them and collect them.  So, in short, how are they ****pped to guarantee 
a good condition?  Or is that even a concern for the publisher, and if 
you want to collect them, their theory is that you should run down to 
the local comic book store?

Second question.  The last time I read a whole multi-issue story was 
back in the 90s.  But this particular Batman story covered about three 
months, and was in all of the comics each month in which Batman was the 
featured character.  It must have been spread over, like, twenty 
magazines.  I think it was over three different magazines.  Is that a 
thing normally done, so that if I want to guarantee the complete story, 
I should just go ahead and subscribe to all the titles featuring Batman?

And the last question is directly related to the previous question. 
What are all the Batman magazines published each month?  (I'm not 
interested in Justice League; I prefer the universes didn't touch.)

I'm also interested The Green Lantern.  He's not published in multiple 
titles each month, is he?

Thank you in advance, guys.
