New Bundle on indiegala: Sweetheart Tales Bundle


https://www.indiegala.com/bundle/sweetheart-tales-bundle

Price: 3.49$
Publisher: Markosia
Included 8 comics, format: pdf or epub

Almost everything has been bundled before somewhere but I doubt many will have bought all those bundles from Humble Bundle, Groupees, Storybundle, Fanatical and Comixology. For me, there are enough comics in it I don't own yet to be interested.

New Europe Comics Noir VIP Bundle on groupees: https://groupees.com/vip24

seems like a lot of never bundled stuff to me - [edit:] or not often bundled :-)

Some of them were recently bundled in the "Microids: Games & Comics crossover collection" Humble bundle. Need to see how many repeats there are, but seem like an overall nice bundle

Also, not sure how many of these series are complete stores and again - they are offered in ePub/Pdf format only, no CBZ/R support.

True, I skipped the HB bundle, so was not really awear of them. and yes, lot of the comics in the groupees bundle are still not complete stories... -.-

The repeats from the Humble Bundle are: Vol. 1 of "Game of Masks", Vol. 1 of "Perico", Vol. 1-2 of "Hedge Fund", Vol. 1-2 of "Miss October" and Vol. 1 of "Blacksad". Unfortunately the only complete stories seem to be "A Hell of an Innocent" and "The Art of Dying" and maybe "The Lion of Judah" (at least the two volumes seem to be all that's been published from the series yet). That and the missing CBZ files (and according to the Groupees chat the PDF files seem to be of a rather bad quality) are making me hesitant in terms of buying this otherwise very interesting bundle ...

Edit: According to the chat the bad PDF files are being replaced by ones with higher quality.

Seems that a 2000AD "Masters of British comics" bundle is set to launch today on Humble bundle:

Bundle repeats: "Devlin Waugh: Swimming in Blood", "Devlin Waugh: Red Tide", Vol. 1 of "Mega-City Undercover", "Hondo City Justice" and "Hondo City Law". Everything else is new to bundles (according to my notes)!

A new Oni Press bundle at Humble bundle:

Kind of a sampler bundle. I would gave preferred some complete series instead of a taste of many, but still seems like a good and worthy bundle with some great content.

One odd thing is that the books are only offered as PDF files, which is odd considering the used to offer CBZ files on the now defunc Comixology.

Also the only source currently as far as I know of DRM free copies of some of those titles, including the Scott Pilgrim ones.

PDF tends to be problematic when converting to other formats, but hopefully this won't be the case with this bundle.

Some of the books, at least when I look at the preview samples, seem very low res and aliased, especially the Queen & Country books. I opened a Humble bundle support ticket on it, but I think that the more people write in about it and ask for better quality files (as well as CBZ format), the more chances it would actually happen, like in the Groupees bundle, where they replaced the PDF files with higher res ones after uses complained.

Bundle repeats (according to my notes):
- Stumptown
- Quincredible
- Lost at Sea (not the Anniversary Edition though)
- The Black Mage
- Archival Quality
- #1-6 of Wasteland
- #1-6 of The Sixth Gun
- #1-6 of Letter 44
- Vol. 1 of Black Metal

Also, in an earlier bundle (that I didn't buy) there was a "Hopeless Savages" included but that was probably not the same one as in this new bundle ("Greatest Hits").

My take: While most included series are incomplete there are many Graphic Novels so there should be enough finished stories in the bundle. Still, I'll probably not buy it since the (to me) most interesting items are mostly in the highest tier and there are three IMO better comics bundles around right now (I'll definitely buy the "Masters of British Comics" bundle, probably also the Vampirella bundle and maybe Groupees' Europe Comics bundle) ...

Just a note that Wasteland, The Sixth Gun, Letter 44 and Black Metal are not the regular TPs that were bundled before:

- Wasteland Compendium Vol. 1 - contains the first half of the whole series
- The Sixth Gun - is the Deluxe edition, that contains the first 11 issues + bonuses
- Letter 44 is the Deluxe edition, which contains the first 2 arcs of the story
- Black Metal - is the Omnibus, which collects 3 volumes

A new 'leading ladies of Image comics' humble bundle:

A few repeats, but overall seems like a worthy bundle, if only for the Saga TPs alone. Though they could have put all the previously offered books in the highest tier and allow those who purchased them a lower tier instead, if they were nice about it.
