Fantasy & Sci-Fi Comics “Hero” Comic Book Subscription & Loot Box | PnP Hero Box (Age 14+ Recommended)

Time to become the Hero with our Fantasy & Sci-Fi Comics Subscription box here at Pages N’ Pixels. As a part of the “Hero” range, this Box is designed around readers of comic books and graphic novels all from the Fantasy & Sci-Fi Universe.

Let’s be honest, knowing and tracking what new comics coming up can take up time and valuable brain space! Then, you have to look at the different stories and pick something… but what do you go for? Many people will always go for the old favourites!

But what new stories are out there? Which new characters could you miss out on? You might never know the adventures in the epic worlds, universes and realities of Fantasy & Sci-Fi! These could be new worlds that you would fall in love with…

Here at PnP, we want to help you to Start Your Next Adventure. Let us track the new releases and scour the boxes for classic stories. We’ll flick through those long boxes and choose awesome adventures for you. Our team of PnP Legends love nothing more than finding amazing stories & characters you’re going to obsess over!

All you need to do is join the legends with this Fantasy & Sci-Fi Subscription Box. No tracking of new releases. No deciding what to take a risk on. And definitely not getting the same old stories over and over… No. Here you get an ongoing series each month alongside our selection of amazing comics. Plus, the PnP love it guarantee will make sure the series you get is what you want to read!

Let us find the best Fantasy & Sci-Fi stories for you every month, and send you some fun alongside them. Everything comes directly from the Legends at our friendly, independent comic book shop in Halifax, UK (come see us in The Piece Hall if you can!).

PNP Box Latest Announcement Box - 30th Jan 2023!

We did it! The website is live and this is the start of our PnP box adventure! The question is, are you ready to start yours with us?
The information on this page gives you a great idea BUT this message area is for the latest information as we develop everything...
Mainly, we are adding more images, videos and information to each box following the launch of the website with placeholder box images for now!
Keep and eye on the Instagram or TikTok for the latest video examples and what's included!

What’s in the PNP “Hero”: Fantasy & Sci-Fi Comics Subscription Box?

This Fantasy & Sci-Fi Box, and all our Hero Boxes, are designed for comic lovers who love reading more than collecting. In the Fantasy & Sci-Fi Box, you will get more comics and a guaranteed graphic novel. Things that are not always included in the Fantasy & Sci-Fi Adventurer Box are also available online! However, you get some of the awesome gear and fun items in the standard version. Not everything from the Adventurer Box, but a nice selection of it!

Oh, you want it all? Well, you can have it! Go for the ULTIMATE Hero version, detailed down the page to see how you can combine the Hero and Adventurer boxes into one ultimate package. (Think of the ultimate power of the One Ring… but it’s more with comics and T-shirts… rather than an evil, all-seeing eye!).

But first, check out what you get here with the Hero Version…

The standard Hero Box option includes each month:

• New Comic Book series! Get a brand new comic at issue #1 and read every one in the series as you go. Oh, and if you are not enjoying that series, you can let us know and we'll swap you to something else in the following box!
• PnP Choice comic books! Chosen from collectors and based around the theme of the month. Here we'll add in some recent releases, cool classics, even some retro comics that we have scoured the long boxes for.
• A brand-new graphic novel! Either as it releases or one chosen by the PnP Legends that fits the theme of the month perfectly.
• Awesome On-Theme Gear! Coming right from the Adventure Box equivalent, including great merch like Funko Pops! Tubbz cosplaying Ducks or T-Shirts and more
• Fun stuff! We'll also include some things we think you'll like including treats, pins, badges and even PnP Exclusive Items.

Not only is this an awesome selection… It’s great value too. Each month will include a total of £50 (approx) retail price for only £35! To get yours, get signed up here or find out more options, including the Ultimate Hero Version further down the page. But first…

The PnP Love it Guarantee

We are already letting you guys choose your favourite comic genre so we know you should love our selection of ongoing series. Each month getting another new issue from an ongoing series should usually hit the spot…

But if it doesn’t, we have got you! There’s no need to suffer for the next 4, 5 or even 6 months with a story you are not getting into.

Let us know and we’ll move you on to something else, no worries!

What happens if you don’t love it?

All you do is message us via the PnP social media multiverse or via email after getting issue #1 of the series and before you get your box containing issue #2. You let us know you are not loving it and we will swap you onto another series with no problem. We’ll even try and match you to the best options as we do so.

Then, next month you will get issue #1 and #2 of the series you selected instead. It’s that easy. Just make sure you let us know before your next box is ready.

A whole universe of Fantasy & Sci-Fi characters and stories

This may come as a shock… maybe a disappointment to some Sci-fi fans, but I am an actual HUMAN writing this! Not a dangerous, comic book-loving Artificial Intelligence. I know, hard to believe these days, right? So you might find me a little biased when I talk about this area, as a massive fan of all things Sci-Fi and Fantasy!

There are some absolutely amazing characters, worlds, universes and even different realities and ages to explore here. If I was getting a box… this might be my personal pick!

Let’s go for the big ones right away, Trek and Wars! Of course, we’ll involve the legends here like Star Wars and the tales from that Galaxy far, far away. We can’t leave Star Trek either since there are so many amazing stories from that world. But, that isn’t the end of the journey.

We love lots of amazing Boom! Studios, IDW Publishing and Image Comics stories that take us to unusual lands. Imagination that created stories like the excellent Once and Future or the more dark and VHS style future of Blade Runner. Not to mention the combinations of Sci-fi and fantasy you find in Avatar or SAGA.

What you’ll find here is something a little more than just the universes you are used to! We plan to see this as an opportunity to take you to new worlds and meet new races and characters. Are you ready to join the fellowship? Or say “Make it so?” to this out-of-this-world Fantasy & Sci-Fi Comics Subscription Box?

14+ Age rating Explained

All comics here are coming from a mixture of publishers, including some Marvel (Star Wars etc) or even Boom! Studios and Image Comics. These vary in age rating for Teens or even Teen plus. But what does that mean in the UK? Well, there are likely to be some that come along that have some darker themes, so the age is based on the fact some will be more serious the others.

We’re not going full adult here, but there’s enough to recommend younger eyes and ears are at least aware there could be rude words and adult themes!

So, since we may include some on the Teen+ in the Fantasy & Sci-Fi Comics Box, parental discretion is advised though if purchasing for someone under the age of 14. Particularly around violence, swearing and some sexual references.

What is in the Fantasy & Sci-Fi Comics Subscription Box: ULTIMATE Hero Edition?

Ok, now we’re getting (why so…) serious! The best thing to explain this is a quick look at our Adventurer Boxes which normally cost £39 per month, but by going ultimate you save money…

The standard Hero Box is designed for people who love READING Fantasy & Sci-Fi. Whereas, the Fantasy & Sci-Fi Adventurer Box is all about COLLECTING and getting cool merch. We include some of this in the Hero Box for you as described above.

But… go with this option and UNITE the power of the HERO and the quest of the ADVENTURER into the ULTIMATE Box.

The Ultimate Box option includes each month:

• Guaranteed T-Shirt! Rather than a rotation of which item you get from the adventurer box, with Ultimate you'll always get an awesome tee!
• Guaranteed Collectible! Yes, you'll even get a collectable figure either from our friends at Funko, Numskull and Kenner or something equally epic from another partner of ours.
• Pins, badges and exclusives! We bring you all kinds of cool items in PnP, so expect those to come along including pins or badges, even mugs and plush toys could arrive.
• Everything in the Hero Box as above!

Great deal, right? Let’s do this! Choose your options and get signed up, or find out more on our ongoing Themes and Focus monthly content…

Fantasy & Sci-Fi Monthly Box: Ongoing Themes and Monthly Focus

We don’t want to spoil the surprise of what’s coming in the box, but we do want you to have a few clues! This is why our boxes all start with a Theme which will run for 3 months.

During the Theme we’ll have months focused on different aspects, characters or worlds to make things interesting. To give you an idea, the current theme and ongoing Focus are listed below, you can also find the latest over on our Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Twitter:

Current Theme: Origin Stories

Welcome to the launch theme and our launch PNP Hero and Adventurer Boxes! Take a look at the information for the theme for launch in March, April and May:

Origin Stories - Fantasy & Sci-Fi Edition

There's nothing like the start of something special. That's what's happening at Pages N' Pixels right now as our website is all shiny and new like fresh beskar armour! For you Fantasy and Sci-Fi fans, this takes a twist into different universes and should provide you with both some familiar faces, but also some new and interesting ones! Origin stories are special to comic books and special to us, this is our focus for the first 3 monthly boxes. Each month we'll be focusing on three different types of characters:

• March = Heroes - Of course, we can't call them Hero or Adventurer boxes without celebrating the good guys! Here we celebrate the protagonists, heroes and even groups of heroes fighting for what's right.
• April = Villains - So, you can't have a great hero without an equally great, if not even better, villain! Celebrate the nasty, deranged or completely insane bad guys.
• May = Anti-heroes - It's not easy to be good, and not every hero wants to be good all the time! Sometimes you need someone to be almost as bad as the villain to save the day!

Keep an eye on the PNP Social Media Multiverse (⬅️this page has all our social media in one place so you can follow us super easy!) to see more on this season's theme and let us know what you're looking forward to most.

Now, time to see how you can sign up and pay for your boxes. While this is super easy month-to-month, you can take advantage of subscribing every 3 or 6 months and saving on each box as a result…

Pay Upfront and Save or Pay Monthly

We want to make things as easy as possible, but for us it's super helpful if you want to pay for more boxes up-front since we can order things in larger quantities sooner!

This means we pass the savings back to you! You can get a saving of (slightly more than...) a free box a year.

• Pay every 6 months - Get the saving equivalent to one free box a year (it's actually a bit more than that!) by paying for 6 boxes upfront.
• Pay every 3 months - Choose this one and save (over) half a box in costs per year by paying 3 boxes upfront.
• Month-to-month payments - Want to take it one box at a time? Go for this option and keep it simple, you can always change this anytime and pay for more in one go later.

How will I be charged and when will my box arrive?

To make matters easier all around, we will take your payment on the 1st of the month on your payment month, how often will depend on your frequency selected on the page.

Orders will be looked at by PNP Legends and we'll organise your content throughout the month from the best options we can get into stock!

Boxes will be prepared between the 21st and 24th of the month, dispatched to arrive a few working days later.

Why? Firstly, this was best for general payday management based on feedback from our survey. It also allows us just over half a month for new people to sign up and enjoy the content without waiting even longer since they will all go out at the same time.

Being a small, independent comic book shop it also helps us organise everything for you and give you that personal touch! If you want to swap to a different comic series you can request a swap. And if we want to offer you some additional choices you can get them.

You can even swap your box to another option and pay the difference!

So, what are you waiting for, hero? Get going with your Fantasy & Sci-Fi Comics Subscription Box by choosing the options and payment frequency. Head to choose the options here:
