[QUOTE=Brian;5134920]However, I notice that IST gets mentioned more than DCBS in these threads. So before I put an order in, I just want to check if there's any major difference in the service either company provides.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, definitely [U]pre-order[/U] is the way to go if you know you want a book, especially a big book. Those are prone to low print runs and high demand once people see them in the wild. Do your homework ahead of time, budget what you can afford, and pre-order, pre-order, pre-order. DCBS almost always has 50% discounts for DC and Marvel in the pre-order cycle. If you're looking to fill in volumes or randomly browse for older releases, then IST is the way to go (or Amazon or Cheap Graphic Novels...).

Then — Don McGregor, the mastermind behind the Black Panther’s first series — continues his saga with “Panther’s Quest”! When T’Challa learns the mother he never knew might still be alive, he stops at no cost to rescue her — invading South Africa and battling mercenaries and militaries alike.

Celebrating the artistic legacy of a true Marvel Comics legend! George Pérez first wowed fans in the 1970s, building a phenomenal reputation as a super-team illustrator without peer on AVENGERS, INHUMANS and FANTASTIC FOUR! His talents graced the super hero action of MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE, the martial-arts mayhem of DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU and the monster madness of Man-Wolf in CREATURES ON THE LOOSE! Years later, Pérez demonstrated his cosmic grandeur by wiping out half the Marvel Universe along with Thanos in INFINITY GAUNTLET! And as the Avengers made a heroic return in 1998, so too did Pérez, joining writer Kurt Busiek to usher Earth’s Mightiest into a new era of greatness. Nobody can draw an army of heroes in a single image better than George Pérez can!

I've recently discovered omnibus and this forum. If the above omnibus (OCT200682) is in stores Apr 14, 2021 when can I preorder it on DCBS?
I've read how others have had to 'hit refresh' on DCBS site to get their order in. Is there a routine schedule on when Previews October 2020 catalog items can be ordered on DCBS?
Thanks
