Ordering US comic books from Germany??

This wasn't an issue before, since I had a trusty comics dealer in my town. And after he closed the shop I've been reading trade paperbacks, which are easy to find. But how do I get single comic book issues? I'm specifically looking for Hawkeye #1 which has just come out, and I can't find the bloody thing anywhere to order. Heck, I'll order from the US if I have to, but I don't know any site there, either.

I can see if I can hit up a local bookstore this coming week and grab you a copy. I can't make any promises, as I don't know how good comic availability is, but if no one else helps you first it's at least worth a try. Besides, I'm curious myself. :-)

EDIT: I know they carry single-issue comics, but it's been a while since I looked so I don't know which publishers they have.

Ich könnte bei meinem Comicladen schauen, ob sie ein Exemplar von Hawkeye #1 da haben. Entweder morgen oder Freitag muss ich eh mal wieder da vorbei schauen, um mein Abo abzuholen (auch wenn das momentan so geschrumpt ist, das es nur noch aus Daredevil und zwei DC Serien besteht). Sie sind auf US Comics spezialisiert, also im Grunde müssten sie es als Neuerscheinung haben, aber es kann natürlich ausverkauft sein.

Im Grunde haben sie auch einen Versandladen, nur listen sie leider auf ihrer Webseite die US-Sachen nicht, also geht dafür online Bestellung nicht, sondern nur Suchliste einschicken oder per Telefon:

Nein, so schnell bin ich nicht, also das ist kein Problem. Aber schön, dass sie es noch für dich da haben.
