A few times the publisher will make small changes to the image before shipping them, including but not limited to adding trade dress, changing colors of the title, etc. We try and replace the image but do not always see the change. Please be aware.*Terms: We are happy to combine shipping on domestic shipments. If you purchase more than one item, and the following rate does not properly apply, please request a combined shipping invoice before making payment.We DO NOT ship media mail for comics, because those shipments are legally not supposed to contain advertising and are subject to inspection.
