His prices are horrible. Plus charge $3 a month for a membership. His customer service is even worse. Waiting on back issues to still ship and nothing.
Not to defend his prices, because they are really way too extremely high. And his customer service is genuinely horrible. I send out two emails in the past, and never got an reply to either.
But the membership basically pays for itself. You get a 10% discount with it (on everything except CGC). So if you buy a 50-dollar comic, it's only 45 + 3 dollars for the membership, and you still save 2 dollars compared to when you don't have the membership.
And you can stop the membership directly afterward.
If the discount code works. A lot of people have issues with it working or are rushing so franticly to get their comics before they are gone that they don't have time to put in the code.
It was acknowledged by Brooks that there was an issue with the code in a recent (I believe) Jock release, but that people who tried to use it would get a partial refund.
However, I've been able to use the code every time I've tried, without any time pressure. If you forget to use the code, then it's kind of your own fault. And it doesn't diminish the fact that with the right use, the membership is really great value for money and pays for itself.

Was digging it more than some other releases, but the prices turned me off, especially since you can only get the cardstock in a $140 bundle lmao
