Does anyone have spares of the Groupees Dynamite Bundles #1 and #2 (maybe even #3) for sale?

I was a bit unlucky in that the first one I was able to buy was #4, which was also the first one not to offer the possibility of getting the previous bundles by paying an extra. I also bought the current bundle before that possibility was added to it. I could probably stomach upgrading to $25 for #3 but upgrading to $55 for #1 and #2 is out of the question.

Groupees has a trade system in place and some of its members have the bundles I want for trade. The problem is I have nothing to trade for them over there and there doesn't seem to be a simple way to just contact someone and offer to buy.

Is it even possible to trade or gift the comics from those bundles (if not bought now)? For me it only shows this possibility for the comics from the "Indie Comic Groupee 2" and the current "Dynamite Fantasy Bundle". I have no idea how I could trade or gift items from the earlier bundles, the only interaction option I see for those is "Download" (and they are all marked as "Revealed") ...

The bundle page mentions that the trades for previous bundles is only for the $10 level in those bundles; so you can't trade ALL of a previous bundle but only some of it.

I haven't known Groupees for long but I believe the bundles I've seen offered for trade are 'gift' versions given to those who payed $30 or $45 for bundle #3.

A "Humble Manga Bundle" from Kodansha Comics:
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/kodansha-manga-bundle

I know next to nothing about Mangas but I've heard some of the titles before (from TV series or films) and I do think this looks interesting. As always I'm open to any kind of information/advice about the ingredients of this bundle ...

It seems Groupees' Dynamite Fantasy Bundle has been prolonged for another nearly 18 days - a few hours AFTER it already ended ...

https://groupees.com/gameofthrones

Attack on Titan is solid; although the art style (anime+manga) I find tends to blend minor characters into a kind of grey "they are all one" block.
Otherwise its a dark, bloody and mysterious story; can be kind of slow pacing (and I say this as an epic fantasy fan) but its solid and good fun.
Anime is great, slow pacing, but great (and super slow to get a new season....)

Knights of Sidonia Vol. 1 is one of those that likes to dances around sex somewhat as an undertone to its story. This is one of those things you'll either like or find super annoying or just tolerate. Story pacing is also somewhat odd and at least the first volume (not read the others) spend a lot of time running to push characters to where they want them to be which can make reading feel like you've missed half-a-dozen pages every so often.


The Heroic Legend of Arslan Vol. 1 I enjoyed and its very clearly taking the opposite path of Sidonia in pacing; here we are getting a more developed almost introduction (through the whole volume) in establishing the key characters. Generally good and one I am to continue reading.


Battle Angel Alita: Last Order Omnibus Vol. 1 I've not read this but I saw the TV series they made of it which was good. Downside to this is that its really a sequel to an already established story and far as I'm aware this is its first digital publication in the west so we don't have the previous series. Certainly I'm hopeful for a good read on it; but its one of those that I'd kind of scoop up whilst on discount and then go hunt down the starting series to read first to get the full picture.



I've not read any of the others.


Also on the Manga front if you ever get a chance read Valley of the Wind - its fantastic and one of the few I own in paperback as opposed to digital (sadly it isn't sold digital). It's the manga that Naussicaa the anime was based off (same creator wrote/directed both). Whilst the story is actually quite different its well worth a read (and I generally hate/loath retellings that change the core story)

Very interesting. I know the film and like it very much but didn't know it's based on a Manga.

Many thanks for all the infos. Do the volumes of the Mangas you mentioned tell more or less complete stories or is it a case of "if I read the first volume and I like it I'll have to buy the 27 following volumes as well"? ;-)

Btw: I just discovered that I already own the first three volumes of "Knights of Sidonia" from an earlier Humble Bundle ...

Manga tends to be longer than western comics (in general broad terms). So whilst some have a complete arc of a story its very much left with room for more at the end. So yes if yo uget one chances are you'll want two and three and four and etc..

^ Great bundle there. Top tier tempting even though I own at least 80% of it all. Maybe the coming bonuses will be new-to-me.....

Couple of pretty nice deals here.

Buy a select Amazon app (most are free) and get emailed a code to redeem at Comixology for the recent Avengers #0 for free (was $5.99).
Can't find the link (maybe it was posted here already?) but here is link for a free $5 Amazon credit for buying a free game.

Very interesting bundle, although with some overlaps. Although it may seem so I did NOT buy every comic bundle there ever was (at least not the highest tiers) but from this bundle I already own:

Tier 1:
"The Boys" #1-14 (from Humble Bundle), so #15-22 are new
"The Fuse" #1 (Humble Bundle), so #2-6 are new
"Locke & Key" (Humble Bundle, even contained the first 6 volumes)
"The Devilers" #1-4 (Humble Bundle), so #5-7 are new

Tier 2:
"Richard Stark's Parker" (Humble Bundle)
"Shutter" #1 (Humble Bundle), so #2-6 are new
"Saga" (Humble Bundle)
"Wasteland" (Humble Bundle)
"The Living Corpse" (from the description it seems to be Vol. 2, "Exhumed", which was already in Groupees' second Dynamite Bundle)
"Uncanny #1-2" (Humble Bundle), so #3-6 are new.
"American Flagg!" (Humble Bundle AND Groupees' second Dynamite Bundle)

Tier 3:
"Deadly Class" (Humble Bundle)
"Descender" (Humble Bundle)
"Letter 44" (Humble Bundle)
"Ex-Con" #1 (Humble Bundle), so the rest is new.
"Dreadstar" (Groupees' first Dynamite Bundle)
"Morning Glories" (Humble Bundle)
"Low" (Humble Bundle)

So the first tier ($5) is the most interesting for avid bundle buyers since only one item ("Locke & Key") was already fully bundled before. The higher tiers contain more repeats but also enough "new" comics to be interesting. I think I will wait for the bonus additions (hopefully not further volumes of "Locke & Key") but I fear that will be another $25 gone ...

^ Rocketeer - new to bundles?
