Hmmm... The Wild Cards books are great, might get the comics, but like you say it's a fair bit to pay just for one comic series.

Comic selection appears to be less good, but that's me literally judging books by their covers.

The one I would be interested in is the Dresden Files one, but that's at the top price point.


Its in the 'beat the average' rather than the top price which is currently at $11.40 or about £7 - even if you go mad and pay the top rate ($15 to unlock all of them) its still just under £9

There's nothing at all in that bundle I'd be interested in; it's all pretty substandard stuff to be honest.

Fair enough - a basic writeup of whats in there

http://comicsbeat.com/dynamite-goes-hum ... undle-ever

Quote:
Dynamite goes Humble Bundle with biggest comics bundle ever

The entire comics industry wants to go humble! Humble Bundle that is! Yet another publisher has signed up for this service which allows readers to pay what they wish to download a bunch of ebooks, while supporting charity, This time the publishers is Dynamite, and they have over 120 books up for grabs—the biggest comics bundle ever—and daily free comics including, today Red Sonja #1 by Gail Simone. It’s all to celebrate their 10th anniversary as a publisher.

While I’ve been writing this story I’ve been watching the ticker go upwards — more than 300 just in the 10 minutes it took to type and check for typos. (HA) Already more than 2000 bundles have been downloaded. In keeping with the tradition of promotions hosted and arranged by Humble Bundle, Dynamite will contribute a portion of the proceeds to three important charitable organizations, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

More deets:

Dynamite is proud to announce that, through the Humble Bundle, the following titles will be available to purchasers at a price they personally determine. While full descriptions can be found at the Humble Bundle website, it’s noteworthy to point out the high caliber of contributing authors in this assortment: Warren Ellis (Planetary, Moon Knight), Grant Morrison (Batman, Happy!), Tim Seeley (Batman: Eternal), Fred Van Lente (Incredible Hulk), Mark Millar (Kick Ass, Ultimates), Amanda Hocking (of the paranormal Hollowland series), Bryan Johnson and Walter Flanagan (stars of AMC TV’s Comic Book Men show), and much more.

• Chaos #1
• Cryptozoic Man (Multiple Issues)
• The Mocking Dead Vol. 1 (Multiple Issues)

• Vampirella Masters Series Vol. 1: Grant Morrison & Mark Millar (Multiple Issues)
• Vampirella Masters Series Vol. 2: Warren Ellis (Multiple Issues)
• Vampirella Vs. Fluffy

AND — when you pledge more than the average you get these books!

• George R.R. Martin’s Wild Cards: The Hard Call (Multiple Issues)
• Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files: War Cry #1
• Kevin Smith’s Green Hornet Vol. 1 (Multiple Issues)
• Kevin Smith’s Green Hornet Vol. 2 (Multiple Issues)

The iOS version of the recent Castle of Illusion remake, which is apparently a near exact copy of the XBLA/PSN game, had been dropped in price from £6.99 to 69p(!). I'm playing the Android version through at the moment and although there are a couple of annoying parts when you're moving into/out of the screen the general side-scrolling platforming controls pretty well on the touch screen and it's certainly worth 69p of anyone's money.
