TFAW (Things From Another World) will be closing their online store as of April 30th.
From their Website:
As of April 30, 2025, TFAW.com will be shutting down. The TFAW.com Team would like to sincerely thank you for your continued support, and for making us your comic shop. It’s been a pleasure serving the comic community for over 25 years. Please note: our physical stores located in Milwaukie, OR, Beaverton, OR, and Universal CityWalk, CA will remain open, and we hope to continue serving you in person.
Below are the relevant dates and how they will impact you.
As of the announcement, we will start to remove future preorders that will be impacted by this site closure.
April 9, 2025, will be the last subscription and preorder processing day. Any pending preorders received will be processed this day, regardless of your shipping frequency. We will allow you to remove any preorders from your account regardless of the date they were added if you do not want this last shipment.

On April 30, 2025, the site will go offline.
TFAW recently celebrated their 45th Anniversary so this came as a surprise to customers. However, they sent their affiliates a notice back on January 27th that they would cease their affiliate program on 4/14/25.
It is pretty well known that we have been an affiliate of TFAW for years having promoted many of their sales as well as linking weekly books out to them, with many readers ordering from them.
Reactions to this new on their Facebook fell in one of two categories, people sad to see them go, or angry that they were given no notice.
Customers, like this one, will have to scramble to find another spot to order comics.
While many of the reactions to the news were like these, mad that they were given no notice and allowed to order books well past the shut down date. Many expressed concerns that they would not be able to find the comics they were allowed to pre-order.
It is interesting to note, that one of our more popular weekly posts was the New Variant Ratio on TFAW Post, and TFAW did not list any variants, or comics for that matter, and this was before the announcement.
