And it does look like the StoryBundles we've been getting have had substantial amounts of totally new content (which admittedly is not comforting if one was in it for the overlapped stuff, or doesn't care about the non-series GNs and such), so they look to have been good value for money, regardless, even if not as good a deal as for a totally new buyer.

I didn't know she was Alan Moore's daughter, by the way.

I don't know if it makes a difference to your potential buying decision, but only Trial of Sherlock (and the new Damsels, which is a fairy tale fantasy subversion which you may or may not be interested in) was actually written by Leah Moore.
The newly-offered Moriarty Lives was done by a different creative team, so YMMV as to how good their approach is. However, Moore did do another Sherlock mini for Dynamite, The Demon of Liverpool, which may one day show up in a future bundle.
Incidentally, if anyone's interested, there's a nifty interview with Leah talking about Alan's works and their differing experiences in the comic book industry
over here at the official Watchmen movie promotional site (amazingly still up).
I like the bit where they ask her if she could get them an interview with him and she responds: "Are you high? He will probably disown me for even doing an interview with a Web site about the film of the book. Next you’ll be asking me if he’s going to write Watchmen 2!" It's funny because it's true!
