I don't work for them and have never used them, but this, like the online deal a year or two ago, is a pretty great deal for those interested.

i had a sub to ultimates and when it ended they kept me going with ultimate spider-man
i'm assuming they have a similar practice at DC anyway, my teen titans sub still has an issue or something to go
;)
I actually got a subscription to "Batman" from discountmags about 8 months ago for nearly the same price. Shame they aren't offering the title this time around; probably because it's been established at $3.99.
For me I've always found that Marvel's mail subscriptions work better because they use heavier mailer boards. Most of my DC books have always arrived a little dinged up. This was so 10-15 years ago, and it's remained the same today. I currently subscribe to "Batman" and "Wonder Woman" this way, and "Batman" usually arrives with a couple dings in the spine. "Wonder Woman" usually arrives in borderline NM condition, even though that series has flimsier covers.
I’m not really picky about condition, but of the 16 issues I’ve gotten through the mail, only a couple have had significant dings.
...cynicism took root that day.
Growing up in the '90s, I didn't care too much about the condition of my new comics. My Marvel subscriptions, though, would almost always arrive in NM condition during the '90s. I might even say they were NM+. I think maybe one out of 200 would have a slight ding in it. I never even thought about their condition, and had no reason to worry. These days maybe 1 in 10 will have a ding in it, even though the backing mailers are basically the same thickness. With DC nothing has changed: in the '90s their mailer boards were flimsy as hell and they're just as flimsy now. Non-existent protection. About half of the comics will have dings in them. But, for new comics, I don't care too much. I've never got a subscription copy that was so bad I wanted another, better copy.
