I thought some of you might find it useful to have a thread here to notify you of when various sites have sales with big bundles of digital comics for cheap, usually as DRM-free files in standard formats like PDF or CBZ which you can read in whatever software you like. They generally have different price tiers your can pay to get different amounts of the comics. The sites I'm aware of which do these fairly often are Humble Bundle and Groupees - anyone know of any others?
As I write, Groupees have one going, their Markosia Bundle 8. It has a little under a day to go, ending about 18:30 UK time (10:30-13:30 USA) on Saturday 7th May. Interestingly, the top tier (USD $15) includes their entire first two Markosia bundles.
Humble Bundle also have 3 on at the moment:
Image Comics’ 30th Anniversary https://www.humblebundle.com/books/i...sary-90s-books
Various 90s comics including Spawn, Savage Dragon, and Astro City. Ends Sat 14th May 19:00 UK (11:00-14:00 USA)
Cinebook - European Sci Fi and Fantasy https://www.humblebundle.com/books/e...cinebook-books
Some interesting-looking titles I hadn't heard of including Aldebaran, Antares, and Valerian & Laureline. I would definitely have bought this bundle except that it is encumbered with DRM restrictions. There are no PDFs/CBZs/ePUBs you can download, you can only read the comics through Izneo's web reader or mobile app. Apart from that inconvenience, if they ever close their service, you'd lose all of your "purchases". Ends Thursday 19th May 19:00 UK (11:00-14:00 USA)
Media Do - Return of the Yaoi https://www.humblebundle.com/books/r...media-do-books
As the name says, various yaoi manga. Ends Saturday 21st May 19:00 UK (11:00-14:00 USA)
