Comicsubz.com - Change how you subscribe to comics

Comicsubz.com is a web app that allows both comic readers and retailers to manage subscriptions online in an interface not too different from webmail accounts, which is a good thing because it doesn't get too messy. In order to start using this service you have to login as member and create your subscription list out of the options provided by the site, which covers DC, Marvel, Image, DarkHorse plus independent comic book collections. Each user has its own dashboard, from which they can supervise their subscriptions or print them out in order to take it to the local store to get help. The profile includes an internal mail system through which users can extol the social networking bit of this app. Users can get RSS feeds on the status of their shipments or any news on their subscriptions. The merchant area is still under development, so the site will continue to expand and become handier for comic fans around.

“ComicSubz.com is a web based service that bridges the gap between comic book customers and their retailers. ComicSubz.com offers a way for customers to easily create and manage their comic book subscriptions and share them with their retailer. Customers can manage their subscription 24/7 and retailers can access your most recent updates each time they login.”

Since the site stresses managing subscriptions via the local comics store, it emphasizes the importance of local economies, which is always a good thing when it comes to comic trading, as internet shopping can very easily obliterate these small stores.

It seems strange that the site provides a set list of subscription comics and does not allow including new stuff. After all, if somebody actually needs an app to manage their subscriptions online, that is possibly because they have a large collection or they are experts in the subject, and thus probably have special needs that are outside the spectrum of given options.
