Do you know of any online comic stores that one can order incentive covers from?
Dan, yes…there are a bunch online but here are a few I use. If you are good about remembering to pre-order them 2 months+ in advance, you can use DCBS (Discount Comic Book Service). If you’re not very familiar with the industry though this gets really tricky and it can be hard to ensure you’ve correctly ordered what it is you’re intending. If you want to wait until the release and can act quickly on the day of, either Mile High Comics (MHC) or Lone Star Comics are good (but there’s no guarantee you’ll get what you want). You can also set up a N.I.C.E. subscription with MHC but I don’t use that method currently. I’ve also heard of others having great success with Midtown Comics. I’ve used them but only for single issues. Hope that helps.
