    Default Digital comic bundles - Humble Bundle, Groupees, etc.

    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)

    *I don't see any rule in the FAQ against swearing here, and there are at least a few threads around with uncensored profanity. Apologies if I'm mistaken and it's not allowed.

    As has become a tradition when there's a new series of The Boys coming out on TV, Dynamite are running a bundle of the comic series. This one includes the complete run so far (6 issues of a planned 8) of the sequel/prequel comic Dear Becky. It also has various volumes and issues of Dynamite series starring female characters, hence the title.

    Top Cow's 30th Anniversary https://www.humblebundle.com/books/t...iversary-books
    Looks like a diverse mix of titles from Top Cow's three decades, in a mix of TPBs, runs of single issues, and OGNs. A couple I've heard of (Cyber Force, Sunstone), but mostly things I haven't encountered which sound interesting.

    If you've bought any comics (or other) bundles through Groupees before, you might want to check you've got all your files downloaded. They currently have this message on their website (emphasis mine), so it looks like they're in a precarious situation due to the Russian invasion. I hope they're all OK.

    There has been some major disruption with our technical team based in Ukraine and we are not currently able to offer bundles. That may change, we can guarantee users will be able to download their assets through the end of July 2022. We will keep you informed about the future of Groupees here and on social media. Thank you.

    Doctor Who 2022

    Lots of collected volumes of Titan's Doctor Who comics, though IIRC the Archives books are repackagings of older IDW Who comics. Mostly covering Doctors 10-12, but there are several of other Doctors too.

    https://www.humblebundle.com/books/j...0ad-2022-books
    Various collected volumes of 2000 AD comics, not all Dredd-related, despite the bundle title. I'm skipping this one, but only because I have just about all of it from previous bundles.

    Various 90s comics including Spawn, Savage Dragon, and Astro City. Ends Sat 14th May 19:00 UK (11:00-14:00 USA)
    This bundle is now back on sale (with a new link: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/i...books-rebundle) as a companion to:

    Image Comics: The 2000s https://www.humblebundle.com/books/i...ry-2000s-books
    Various 2000s comics including Spawn, Savage Dragon, and Rising Stars.
    Four tiers (£20.87 / £15.03 / £8.35 / 83p)

    Both end on Thu 18th Aug, 19:00 UK time

    EDIT: The 2000s bundle was missing Spawn #123, which left a single-issue gap between this and the 90s bundle. Humble support have rectified this, so #123 is included in the 2000s bundle now.
