New StoryBundle is out, and this time, they're doing comics from Dynamite (DRM-free, available worldwide):

The Dynamite Ultimate Heroes Bundle, featuring assorted mostly-paranormal/fantasy & super-hero titles, but also some classics adaptations and artist retrospectives.

$5 minimum for the following 10 titles (9 collections/GNs and 1 single issue):

• Project Superpowers by Alex Ross and Jim Krueger
• Bob's Burgers #1 by Mike Olsen and Brad Rader
• The Hollows: A Hollowland Graphic Novel by Amanda Hocking, Tony Lee and Steve Uy
• Legenderry: A Steampunk Adventure Collection by Bill Willingham
• Legends of Red Sonja Collection by Gail Simone, Kelly Sue DeConnick and More
• Mercy Thompson - Moon Called Vol. 1 by Patricia Briggs
• Red Sonja Unchained Collection by Peter V. Brett, Walter Geovani and Jack Jadson
• The Complete Alice in Wonderland Collection by Lewis Carroll, Leah Moore, John Reppion and Erica Awano
• The Essential Painkiller Jane Collection by Jimmy Palmiotti and Joe Quesada
• Vampirella Vol. 1 - Our Lady of Shadows by Nancy A. Collins and Patrick Berkenkotter

$15 bonus threshold nets you 10 extra titles (5 collections & 5 single issues, if I'm parsing them correctly):

• A Game of Thrones #1 by George R.R. Martin, Daniel Abraham and Tommy Patterson
• Jungle Girl Season 3 #1 by Frank Cho, Doug Murray and Jack Jadson
• Lady Rawhide/Lady Zorro #1 by Shannon Eric Denton and Rey Villegas
• Project Superpowers: Blackcross #1 by Warren Ellis and Colton Worley
• Reanimator #1 by Keith Davidsen and Randy Valiente
• Red Sonja Vol. 1: The Queen of Plagues by Gail Simone and Walter Geovani
• Red Sonja - She-Devil with a Sword Omnibus Vol. 1 by Michael Avon Oeming, Mel Rubi and More
• The Art of Ramona Fradon by Robert Greenberger
• The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood #1-5 by Christina Blanch, Chris Carr and Chee
• The Dresden Files - War Cry Collection by Jim Butcher, Mark Powers and Carlos Gomez

There's a fair amount of overlap with prior Humble Bundles from Dynamite (some titles being offered as collections rather than single titles, so might have collected editions extras; or not).

However, if you happened to miss the 1st of those, you can get several of the titles that they continued with additional issues of in the 2nd (Xmas bundle), and it looks like there's a bunch of new Vampirella & Red Sonja stuff which SB has that weren't in the previous HBs (too confusing to parse in a quickie lookup of my HB library).

The definitely new offerings are The Complete Alice in Wonderland and The Art of Ramona Fradon (Wikipedia), which should be an interesting read and well worth the $15 top-tier for those interested in comic book history, and it looks like at basic tier, The Essential Painkiller Jane collection is also previously unoffered, as well as The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood #1-5 in the top-tier.

Overall, it looks like a pretty nice selection even if you already did have the earlier Dynamite Humble Bundles, and I hope that StoryBundle continues to diversify their offerings (in part so that I can "catch-up" with publisher re-offerings of back issues of other former comic bundle HBs that I might have missed and regretted ).

AMC has just released another online comic book, this one titled Rivals, in time to promote the April 13 season 2 premiere of TURИ: Washington's Spies. This edition portrays the past rivalry of George Washington and Robert Rogers.

Marvel Monday is a bunch of Frank Miller Daredevil books. Fantastic stuff; if I owned only one run of Marvel books it'd be this one.

Week Two of DC's weeklong Convergence sale is at Comixology; 90 books at $.99 each, including some pre-new 52 Aquaman, Catwoman, Shadow of the Bat, Man of Steel, and more.

Comixology is apparently run by sadists.

I don't have the desire at the moment to go thru and compare everything in the Humble Bundles and Groupees and bundle and see what is new to this BitTorrent/Comixology bundle.

For $6.99 I'm almost at the "screw it and just buy it to have everything in one place" mood; but I really hate paying for the same stuff potentially 7 times.

1 - on Comixology earlier
2 - on Dark Horse earlier
3 - in one of the several Dynamite Humble Bundles
4 - in the Groupees bundle
5 - in the BitTorrent bundle
6 - in the Story Bundle
7 - in these Comixology bundles

Fwiw, the new Comixology bundle (which dropped in price to $6) and BitTorrent bundle only include 8 total new issues if you had previously bought the Groupees and Humble Bundles; Uncanny 3-6 and Ex-con 2-5.

New Humble Bundle is up, and it's for:

Humble Underground Book Bundle presented by Last Gasp

Lots of underground and alternative comics and artist retrospectives included, as well as some prose/poetry pieces etc.

Tiers as follows (current more-than-average is just below $6), with more stuff to be added next week:

Name your price for Revolutionary Letters, A Cynic's Guide to a Rich and Full Life, Pop Surrealism: The Rise of Underground Art, The Original Art of Basil Wolverton, and Mitch O'Connell: The World's Best Artist.

If you pay more than the average price, you'll also get Arab in America, Gangsta Rap Coloring Book, Forbidden Activities for Neglected Children, Man's Ruin: The Posters & Art of Frank Kozik, and Status Factory: The Art of Ron English.

If you pay $15 or more, you'll receive all of the above plus Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society and Hi-Fructose Collected Edition Vol. 1-3

ETA: I'll probably end up getting the top-tier later out of curiosity, since it looks like there's some pretty nice visual art and interviews in that Hi-Fructose Collected Edition, but right now, the Arab in America GN memoir at the more-than-average level looks well worth a $6 splurge this morning.

If it was for Dynamite comics I would have thrown my tablet out the window.

The collections at Comixology are also the same price at Google Play and Amazon for Kindle.

Seconded on the overkill of the same Dynamite titles lately (although I'd like to point out the Groupees versions were higher quality than the other copies I had).
