Mile High Comics have a 60% off THANKSGIVING codeword discount:

"This 60% off codeword applies immediately to all ten million back issue comics and magazines that we offer on our website, excluding only new comics, a few variant editions, and our CGC-graded comics. Our THANKSGIVING codeword applies only for the next 96 hours, however, ending promptly at noon, on Saturday. At that point, our current 50% off BLACKFRIDAY codeword sale will return for a few days."

They are awful and should be your last resort to get a comic you need. I've had delayed shipments, wrong books with no response, improper grading. It's a complete crap shoot, and it's annoying how unreasonably high their prices are to begin with (not to mention their terrible website).

If the BFriday code isn't personalized, then that changes things for me...ALOT.

I did a quick scan of the smallprint and 99% sure the code works once per billing address.

Not a problem if you've got two or someone else's credit card.

I know this isn't a deal about collected editions, but I'll flag that this week there's a sale on X-Men DVDs and Blu-Rays on Amazon. I'm picking up Days of Future Past and The Wolverine for like 80% off.

A couple of years back, when I purchased a ton of single issues from them (I probably purchased at least 200 in total), I didn't have any major problems. There were a few single issues that I didn't feel were correct with the displayed grading so I contacted them. They were quite good about it and gave me a part discount/refund.

I never had a problem with shipments, and I had about four big ones as well as the fact that they were all delivered to Poland.

I do agree, however, that their website is pretty "inflexible" and not always the best when searching for a comic. And yes, their prices are high, but if you apply the 40-60% discounts, they work out at pretty similar to other online stores. I would suggest to never buy the NEWSTAND single issues, as they are massively overpriced.

I haven't ordered from them in quite a while and the only collected edition I purchased from them was a Marvel Masterworks Daredevil HC for half price when they had a sale on.

Someone asked about the dates of the Newbury Comics B2G1 sale. It's goes through 12/14.

I've been to a couple stores and they have a few omnibus. I picked up Marvel Zombies, Man-Thing and Remender's Punisher. Punisher was reduced to $50, as was Man-Thing. Zombies was $60. So the 3 came to $110. Not bad. Many of the stores have those 3, and you have a good chance of finding Evolutionary War, New Avengers, Avengers, Untold Tales of Spiderman, Ultimate Spiderman, Squadron Sumpreme, X-Static. All of these are about 50%. Couple that with the B2G1 free and you can do well. A couple of the stores also have Age of Apocalypse and Wolverine and the X-Men, but they are not discounted.

They're also practically giving away some of the Tpbs. My son likes the Ultimate Universe. The X-Men and FF4 Tpbs are all $2.99 to $4.99 as well as B2G1 free. He's going to do well at X-Mas this year.

I placed a "Black Friday Week Long Sale" order with CGN on Monday. I got a "order has been processed" email confirmation minutes after so to that poster who didn't get one I'd advise you shoot them an email. I've not gotten a "your item(s) have shipped email" yet but they prepared us it may take awhile. It is my first order with them since March, they do send out a "it's shipped" email right?

IST has their Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal up: 45% off, DC, Marvel, Image & DH. 40% off Boom!, Dynamite, IDW, Fantagraphics.

I'm not compelled to buy anything extra with this deal.

This is my main place to buy books on week of release for when I just have to have it but their "sale" is so unimpressive I'm not bothering. I have the extra 2% till Friday and my place an order on a book or two that I've not yet seen appear in any sales: AoA Companion, Infinity Companion, Wolverine & X-men

Also, re: CGN - log in, go to your Account page, and do an "all-time" search for your orders. You should see your order there with a status that is not "Failed" if it actually placed. Times that I've ordered and PayPal failed to complete its connection the order comes up "Failed" and I have to do it again.

Well I got an email from Max saying I had no order in their system so I had to reorder and missed out on a lot of deals. Colossal Conan, Powers Definitive, G I Joe IDW 4, Deadpool Dracula's Gauntlet and others.

I got mine at a small convention in September for cover price. So just luck I guess.
