It's a free, non-invasive service that sends you an e-mail each week of what's shipping from the various companies. Naturally, this info is already available on-line for those who want to look for it.
But judging from the number of calls that comic book stores get asking questions like, "Did Vibe: Sword of Detroit come out this week?", the Big Monkey thought people might appreciate just getting an e-mail that lets them know what's new on the stands. So we made something that does that; that's how much the Monkey loves you.
The e-mail you'll get looks something like this:
Ooo. Pretty.Anyway, as I said, it's free and we won't sell your e-mail address to the Scientologists or the Viagra Manufacturers Association. To sign up for the service, just go to the Big Monkey website and put your e-mail address in this box:
Then you'll no longer be in the dark at Recess when all the cool kids are talking about what comics are coming out that week.

So did Vibe:Sword of Detroit come out this week?
Good pitch. I'll sign up.
I think one could count JLA Classified this week as "Vibe: Sword of Detroit".
For people like me, who check email rarely but are on the web all the goddamn time, Diamond posts its shipping lists at: http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping.asp on Monday. They post it in this format:
http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping/shipping_MMDDYY.txt
replacing "MMDDYY" with the month, day, and year of that week's Wednesday. If you're really eager to know the shipping list (or bored at the office, like I usually am), you can use that format to see the shipping schedule a couple of hours before Diamond's webmonkeys get the links on the Shipping page.
I wish I could have recess... you don't know what you got until it's gone. *sigh*
I signed up because I'm too lazy lately to go to diamond's website. Thanks!
I signed up, but it's either not been coming or coming a week late. To give y'all the benefit of the doubt, what have I been doing wrong?
It's been what we've been doing wrong. It'll be fixed next week, Bully.
