Subject: New Marvel titles for $1.39 per issue, delivered
  There are a couple of deals going on that will let you get 4 different
Marvel titles for $1.39 per issue, which includes mail delivery to your
home.  I'll explain how to get ANY subscription title you want instead of
these.

  If you buy these in the store, they are roughly $3.20 per issue with tax.
Marvel's usual deal is about $25 for your first 12 issue subscription, and
$23 for additional ones.

  Here are the two deals that will give you the $1.39 per issue deals:

http://subscriptions.marvel.com/combo/Amazing_Spider-Man_36-issue_Pack
Amazing Spider-Man, 36 issues for $49.97

or

http://subscriptions.marvel.com/combo/Young_X-Men_X-Force_and_X-Factor
X-Factor, X-Force, and Young X-Men  3  12 issue subs for $49.97

  Over on the left side of both pages is the current list of Marvel titles
available  (interesting, I just noticed they added an Anita Blake: Vampire
Hunter title, over on the right)

  Now, having done this sort of thing several times, I'll let you in on how
to transfer this deal to another title that they normally don't ever
discount like this.

1)  First, subscribe to whichever of the deals you want above.  Do it
multiple times if you want.

2)  Next, check your email.  You should now have an account number.  Email
subscripti...@marvelsubs.com, and request that they transfer your subs over
to whatever title you want.  They typically honor two of these requests a
year.
    If you try to do more, they won't honor your requests for another 12
months.  Just a heads up in case you want to build up a 6 year subscription
to Thor, or something like that.  You would need to purchase one of these
deals
twice, then transfer the resulting title(s) once, in order to get a 6 year
sub to one title.

3)  Once you've submitted the request, it takes about 3 months for the
transfer to be made.  You may receive 1-2
issues of the original title before you start getting the new one

My favorites:

Fantastic Four
New Avengers
New Exiles (kind of a cross between Quantum Leap and X-Men, where they try
to repair the fabric of reality in
            alternate unverses)
She-Hulk  funny book

It probably costs Marvel 50c each to ship these out, so Marvel is only
seeing about 89 cents an issue from this.  I'm a reader, and not a
collector, but I rarely have any problems with the ones that come in my
mailbox.  I get roughly 180 issues a year in my mailbox, and over the past 3
years, I've had 2 that didn't show up, and 3 that were creased.  In each
case, a quick email to subscripti...@marvelsubs.com took care of the
problem.  So normally the worst that will happen is that you'll end up with
an extra copy that you can share with somebody.
