_Auster_: I think you did a typo.
Somehow lost some of the Text. Thank you for the info - I edited the original post - it is about a new comic bundle on groupees. (or I think it is new)

eladz: Humble bundle 'The boys vs project Superpowers' returns. Haven't compared, but I think it's pretty much the same bundle as offered in the past:

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/boys-versus-project-superpowers-encore-books

The increase in repeated bundles recently is a bit worrying. I hope brand new bundles are on the way as well...
The only difference seems to be that there are #1-6 of "The Boys: Dear Becky" included while the last one only had #1-2. It's still not complete though (2 final issues are missing) ...
[s]Markosia's Storyverse Spectacular: The Ultimate Bundle is on Groupees:

https://groupees.com/markosias-storyverse-spectacular-the-ultimate-bundle

I haven't read a lot of Markosia so I don't know if these are repeats but most of them look like 'new' bundle items to me (?).[/s]

And darn, I should have read the previous page as it was already posted here, sorry

And does anyone know how to do strikeout text? {s}{/s} don't seem to work.

Fakku, digital translator and distributor of erotic manga, is having a summer sale of their own in their site.

Not adding links still in lights to a moderator's recommendation from when I asked a while back.

There now seems to be another erotic manga bundle on Humble bundle, a Baki collection, for those interested:

maestroruffy: is it erotic?
I don't think so. Looks more like a fighting manga type.
The Baki bundle is not downloadable, you need Kobo and have to read through that app. Wish I knew before purchasing.

Haven't really checked, just assumed so because of the covers

That sucks, Humble bundle are losing their appeal if they are giving up on DRM-free content. You can probably write their support and get refunded, if you choose so.

The DRM can be removed from Kobo books, but it takes a few steps.
1. Download book from Kobo in .ascm format
2. Get Adobe Digital Editions and add the .ascm file to the library to convert it to .epub
3. Get Calibre and De-DRM plugin to add the .epub file to Calibre and then remove the DRM and convert to your file type of choice.

It's a little cumbersome to set up the first time, but now I buy things from there all the time and it's become a straightforward process.
Vault comics on sale - DRM-free epub or pdf if bought from Google Play, but the sale is also on Amazon.

This seems to be a bit of a stealth sale, not listed anywhere, but I noticed -

Autumnal - Complete Series
I Walk with Monsters - Complete Series
Barbaric Vol 1
Vampire The Masquerate Vol 1 and 2
Money Shot Vol 1 and 2
These Savage Shores - Complete Series

All seem to be USD1.99

All show up for me in Google by searching.

Vault also has their own store on their website, but these aren't on sale there. But they do sell DRM-free there, which (as far as I know) is the only other publisher DRM-free store except 2000AD.

I'm always interested in smaller publishers but I bought Autumnal on Google to give things a try and I can't find any way to dowload a file.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the Export to ePUB/PDF option. Good quality.
I guess I'll be checking more of their catalog.

Thanks a lot for the heads up!

Sorry, I should have said clearly, google books isn't very well designed. For anyone else - in the library page, looking at all your books, on the three-line right-click-type menu thingy on the corner of each book cover. You need to export one-by-one :)

Also - because google play is a clunky nightmare of 2009-era stupid -

If you want cbz/r not epub - epubs can be opened like zips and there's an "images" folder several deep. Take that out and re-zip and rename to cbz.

Also - because sometimes the pdfs are better quality than the epubs - if you want higher-quality cbz, and you're on linux, this should pull all the image files and cbz them. Check afterwards though, because it needs the pdf itself to be structured as basically a container of image files - there may be missing pages, or image layers appearing as separate pages - but all the ones I've got from google work. It may depend on the publisher though (it does work for Vault and Image)

Needs poppler-utils which is in the repos for Debian/Ubuntu

----
#!/bin/bash
#extract image files from all pdfs in folder, rar into .cbr

for FILE in *; do
NAME=${FILE%%.*}
FULLNAME="$FILE"
echo "Converting $FULLNAME to cbz"
mkdir "./$NAME"
pdftoppm -png "$FULLNAME" "./$NAME/img"
rm "./$NAME/img-01.png"
zip -r0 "${NAME}.cbz" "./$NAME"
done
