Looks like a good deal on Neil Gaiman comics (e-book obviously) ... prob going to grab it
Couple of free mangas here on Fanatical (bottom tier)
The latest Image Humble Bundle has some great stuff in it - I've not read anywhere near all of it but of what I have, Ice Cream Man is a fantastic horror series, Zero is a really interesting espionage series with a different artist each issue, Sex Criminals is an extremely funny yet surprisingly character-focused fantastical crime comedy about sex-based superpowers, Injection is Warren-Ellis-brand Weird Science, and Luther Strode has some of the best ultraviolent action of this century's comics. Honestly for £21 there's so much in there that it's hard to argue against - tbh if you see a single 3 or 4 trade series you want to read, it's probably earned the price of admission and you'd still have a ton of other stuff to check out.
Indeed...I just started Saga vol 1 (physical copy) so this will be essential to complete the story
Saga is one of the few I've collected the trades of. They took a break between Vol. 8 and 9 so haven't read 9 yet and still have to get 10.
Sex Criminals is fun.
I know they couldn't give them all, but seems strange how they give random sets of issues for some like Darkness, Witchblade and Savage Dragon.
I liked Nailbiter as well. Heard Revival is good.
Digital 2000AD bundle
That 2000AD bundle is actually pretty good - they've had a few before and I was unfairly expecting a lot of overlap, but this one has some Dredd stuff that I don't think they've included before, a whole bunch of Nikolai Dante and Slaine stuff they've not included before. Of the duplicates (Brink and Absalom) they have also included more things, so all 5 Brink books and the Cabbalistics, Inc series that comes before Absalom and introduces the world and characters of the later series.
Yeah I'll need to double check how much I already own of those
The artwork in these looks great... there are a fair few complete collections here, and a few incomplete volumes as the story is still ongoing
Anyone got any experience of the stories?
I've never watched The Expanse so no idea what it's like or about, but apart from the 2 Expanse books, the others seem to be separate independent stories not tied into that universe
Tbh I would expect the Expanse ones to be on the lesser end of things just by being "tie-in comics", although that might prove unfair.
I've read some of We Only Find Them When They're Dead and Seven Secrets. Unfortunately I didn't think much of either of them - WOFTWTD is an interesting sort of idea (spacefaring scavengers who loot the corpses of dead gods for tech), but the characters and story setup left me cold. Seven Secrets is some sort of action/spy thing with a sort of James Bond feel but having read three issues it wasn't doing anything for me.
Haven't heard anything about any of the rest.

These look pretty good.. not familiar with Vault, but heard good things about Autumnal for one
Humble have an Eerie Comics bundle which looks like a good deal if you're into older B&W horror comics. They've also got a Saturday AM Manga bundle going but I don't know any of those titles, so can't comment on their quality.
Another decent-looking bundle - this time it's 60 issues of Rick & Morty comics. I've not read any so can't speak first-hand as to their merits but Marc Ellerby's "Chloe Noonan" comics are awesome, and I've heard some good things about the series.
hmm... first preview PDF I opened had this
hopefully that's a once off and it's not missing loads of words 😂
EDIT: Actually that might be part of the joke lol
4 comics for £2, they deliver but don't know cost. limited to 30 packs

Humble Bundle have a new bundle of Hellboy Comics. £15 or more for 35 volumes is pretty decent!
Humble have a new Hellboy universe bundle, this time also including most of the BPRD titles as well. I ended up missing the last bundle so will probably jump on this.
This looks very interesting

Had a quick look at the Army of Darkness one and I dig the art style.
Any thoughts on the bundle?
There's a Cerebus Humble bundle running at the minute with PDF copies of the entire 300-issue run. Also an option to just get the first 5 volumes if you're not too fussed about the whole thing. Crucially, if you are curious about the work but reluctant to give Sim any money, you can opt to give all the money to the charity (minus the mandatory humble bit, that is).
This IDW bundle looks great… lots of horror which I love
Anyone familiar with this set?
That is a very generous bundle - the Essex County trilogy is really good, and Locke & Key is a pretty good horror-fantasy series. I've only read the first two 30 Days of Night books but they're pretty good as well (depending on your enjoyment of Steve Niles' writing - I find him kinds hit and miss, myself). And of course From Hell is Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell in roaring form, so hard to go wrong there...
If you are interested in Moebius/Jodorowsky/Metal Hurlant comics with a side serving of Milo Manara, this Humble Bundle has a huge amount of comics. There's some overlap with previous bundles of French comics but even at that it's hard to argue with it in terms of value for money. Strongly tempted to pick it up, as much for the Incal and Metabarons stuff as anything else.
Speaking of Humble Bundles, the latest Hellboy Universe Megabundle is an absolute bargain.
There are a few decent Humble Bundles running at the moment for anyone looking for some digital comics:
I've picked up the first two of these (Rick Remender I find hit or miss, but there's a ton of stuff in that bundle so if you e.g. want to read Black Science, Low or Deadly Class it's already worth your while to pick it up).
The IDW one any good or incomplete volumes?
I haven't read any of them yet, but it looks to be complete trades as far as I can see. Can't blame you for asking, though - I'm still a bit bitter about them putting out 4 issues of William Gibson's Archangel in a bundle without mentioning that it was a 5-issue mini...
Just following up on this - I got around to downloading the Usagi Yojimbo comics and there are 2 things to note:
So absolutely worth the money still, but useful to know if you're looking for a complete set/definitely want to start at book 1.
I must be one of the few that prefers PDF 😀
Just easy to open on any device or browser without requiring apps.
Also Adobe Acrobat interface is so simple to navigate with a thumb tap without needing a swipe. Swiping is hard when holding tablet up while lying down.
Main issue is space used i assume?
