The charity being Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) a truly excellent choice at any time, but particularly now. This is such a great deal if you don't have these books and such a great cause.

Well there's a Humble Bundle worth thinking about. ALL, yes ALL of Walking Dead from $14.50 - so what £12...ish.

That's quite a bargain - even by Humble Bundle standards. I have the first half but think I might go for this one. I've read the first compendium and while it was far, far from brilliant it was an absolute play turner and a very comfortable read when you weren't on the edge of your seat.

They had a Hickman bundle before that. Was so tied up today I forgot all about it. Darn.

DC have a 50% digital sale of what looks like pretty much all their graphic novels - some bits I might pick up - never have read all of Ostander's Suicide Squad.

First half https://www.comixology.co.uk/comics-sale?list_id=34392

Second half  https://www.comixology.co.uk/comics-sale?list_id=34416

Mind Dark Horse have half price on most theor stuff too.

Just seen this one. If any folks haven't read Locke and Key this is a must buy, just can't go wrong with that its a great comic.

As it is I'm almost certainly going to get this as the other stuff alone makes it a great buy.

Here's a Humble Bundle style deal on a big heap of Humanoids books. The $15 tier worked out as about £13. Well worth it!

Tomwe posted this over at the other Bargains thread and thought it was better put here.

I've only ever read vol1 of Incal. Is this one worth grabbing as a bundle? (Not sure I'll go for the Joe Hill one — I already have Locke & Key in digital and HC! Is the rest worth it?)

I've only read bits of the stuff he's doing for DC at the moemnt and that's pretty good. I've not read any of his other stuff aside from Locke and Key and that so good I reckon its gotta be worth the gamble?

Again the Humanoids stuff I've not much of the stuff there and didn't get no with Metabarons - which is not a commonly held view as its very popular - but I'm going with the theory at that price its gotta be worth a punt - right?

Just bought it. Every file has a generic name in my purchase, so that's going to be 'fun' to sort out. Sigh. On the plus side, unlike Humble Bundle there's a 'download everything' option.

Yeah that was definitely somewhat tedious to resolve.

Started on Carthago yesterday which is shaping up well so far - lots of giant shark action and nefarious plots from evil corporations.  Might spin up another thread as I'd be interested to hear others thoughts on this and the other strips in the bundle but don't want to pollute this one with waffling.

And another Humble Bundle - this one a Manga collection. I don't know enough to know if any of these are any good. Maybe some of our more Manga literate types can help. Hawkmumbler, Adventurer, others you out there?

Again I'd go with the idea that I should just do it at this price as learning more would make it worth it. The thing that's stopping me is I have soooo much stuff on my 'To read' spreadsheet that to add more on a whim seems like folly...

I got their last HB, although have so far only read Parasyte (v1/2 was included), which was pretty good. Had that have been in the lower tiers, I'd have done some double dipping, but with my read pile I'm not paying another 16 quid, having already bought two digital comics bundles this week.
