Digital Comic Book Sales and Discussion

[bugrom]

The only one I read was Torso, but I really liked it. I am going to pick up the bundle to check out the rest.

[Diamond]

For $29.99 that bundle is a must-buy if you like Bendis' approach to writing comics.

[Trevor]

No new sales, freebies, or bundles today.

I've sampled some of the Bendis singles that are on sale. Brilliant is decent, but I'm not sure if I'll buy more. Two issues in on Scarlet and I'm really enjoying it.

Today's Marvel Monday is a bunch of Warren Ellis books. They have bundled them, 74 books for $70, but nine of them have been free before so the bundle may be more expensive for most of us.

Astonishing X-Men 25-35
Astonishing X-Men: Xenogenesis 1-5
Nextwave: Agents of Hate 1-12
Ultimate Nightmare 1-5
Ultimate Secret 1-4
Ultimate Extinction 1-5
Ultimate Human 1-4
Ultimate Comics Armor Wars 1-4
Secret Avengers 16-21
Thunderbolts 110-121
Iron Man vol 4, 1-6

Two new sales at Comixology.

From Image/Top Cow a sale on Think Tank until 5/15/14.

Issues 1-12, or bundled for $10, 3 collections at $4, $6, and $6. The second collection apparently has a special issue not available here otherwise, making the purchase choice more complicated than it should be.

From DC we get a week long sale on 52, no bundle option.

The main 52 series, issues 1-52, #1 was/is free.
World War III 1-4
52 Aftermath: The Four Horseman 1-6
Black Adam 1-6

[Trevor]

No new sales, freebies, or bundles today.

Fwiw, Comixology later added the missing Think Tank Military Dossier issue to the sale.

[Trevor]

Six more of this year's FCBD books, and one from 2010 (!), just popped up for free on Comixology.

Humble Bundle now has a pretty sweet IDW Doctor Who bundle.

[Trevor]

No new sales, freebies, or bundles today.

[Trevor]

No new freebies found, but three new sales, each with a bundle option.

From Marvel we get a today only sale on the Claremont/Byrne Uncanny X-Men run. Giant Size #1 and Uncanny 94-137. 45 issues for $.99 each or bundled for $40.

From Fantagraphics, ending 5/19, a Richard Sala sale. 6 graphic novels at half off, or all bundled for 56% off at $25. Books are Delphine, The Grave Robber's Daughter, Peculia, The Hidden, Peculia and the Groon Grove Vampires, and Violenzia.

From IDW another Godzilla sale, ending 5/18/14. Three purchase options:

- as a 52 issue bundle for 62% off, $40

- eleven different collections at $4 or $5 each

- in single form as:
Godzilla: Kingdom of the Monsters 1-12
Godzilla (ongoing) 1-13
Godzilla: Rulers of the Earth 1-11
Godzilla: Gangsters and Goliaths 1-5
Godzilla Legends 1-5
Godzilla: Half Century War 1-5

[Trevor]

Comixology has a new sale, the first Saga collection for $2. But you all already own these issues or trade I hope.

New sale at Dark Horse: all of their 28 different comic book art books are $9.99 each. I'm thinking about getting the Hellboy, Grendel, and Alien/Predator ones.

[Trevor]

I just found a few new freebies in the 'recently added' section. Godzilla sale ends today.

[Trevor]

Today's Marvel Monday is a couple of runs on the 2011 reboots of Ultimate Comics Ultimates 1-24 (w/ 18.1) and Ultimate Comics X-Men 1-23 (w/ 18.1).

The 52 and Saga and Sala sales are scheduled to end today. The Godzilla sale is at least temporarily still working, could be the common extension glitch or an actual extension I guess.

Another weird sale is 99 cents for the French version of the first 30 Days of Night collection.

[Siddon]

New sales

X-men Schism 3.99
X-men Second Coming 9.99
X-men Messiah Complex 9.99
X-men Dark Phoenix Saga 5.99

Chew 1-40
Revival 1-19

Batman 66' 1-33

Revival is definitely worth 20 bucks

Chew eh I don't know I dropped that title

Second Coming and Schism are still a little to pricey for my tastes but Messiah Complex is worth the 10 bucks

[Trevor]

Lots of updates today. No new freebies found at either Comixology or Dark Horse; but if you haven't looked at the Comixology bundles for awhile there are some new things there. Some of the older sales are still active via bundle.

Dark Horse has something called Tatooine Tuesday apparently. Is this new or have I been missing this for awhile? Today's deal is the 448 page Star Wars Omnibus: Rise of the Sith for $2.99. I'm not huge into Star Wars, but it's hard to resist that price.

Three sales at Comixology include one until 5/26 on four X-Men collections.
X-Men: Schism $3.99
X-Men: Second Coming $9.99
X-Men: Messiah Complex $9.99
X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga $5.99

Another weeker is from DC on Batman '66; all 33 issues at $.99 each.

And from Image, ending 5/22/14, a sale on Chew and Revival.

- a bundle gets you the first two collections of each for $20 instead of the separate sale price of $22
- the 3 Revival collections and 8 Chew collections are $4.99 to $7.99
- the 19 issues of Revival at $.99 each, #1 was/is free
- the 43 (40 plus some specials) issues of Chew at $.99 each, #1 was/is free

Oops, sorry Siddon; didn't see your post. But I just cut&paste to a couple sites so it's easier anyway to just go ahead and double post.
