Dynamite is the King of Bundling—huge collections of comics in digital form for a low, usually pay what you want price. Yhey’re so good at it that they’ve actually persuaded MORE COMPANIES TO START BUNDLING COMICS. This time it’s BitTorrent, which is now a totally legit place to download content. They’ve done music in the past but this is their first comics bundle. This is a mega-bundle of 200 comics, with a minimum payment of $6. So between all the other bundling that Dynamite has been ofering, you can pretty much catch up with their entire oeuvre in no time. This bundle runs through Friday, April 17, 2015. Details below.
Dynamite Entertainment is proud to announce that BitTorrent, Inc., a globally-recognized creator of software and protocols to help people find, share, and move digital media, will offer their first-ever BitTorrent Bundle dedicated to digital comic books and graphic novels, available as “The Dynamite Mega Bundle.” Following upon the success of their recent entertainment packages – including those from music sensations Thom Yorke and Madonna, and BBC’s Doctor Who – this limited time promotion welcomes the massive BitTorrent community to enjoy over 200 comics — over 4,000 pages of content — by some of the most acclaimed writers and artists in the comic book industry. There are two thresholds in this promotion: one with 30 comics are available for free download, granting the community a chance to sample Dynamite’s various offerings, and a second level where customers can expand their reading experience by allowing them to pay what they want for the entire 200 plus comics, with only a $6.00 minimum for this amazingly value-priced bundle purchase. This package is so huge, that fans will want to ensure that they have enough space on their hard drive. The Dynamite Mega Bundle will run for five days only, launching on Monday, April 13, at 2:00pm EST (11:00am PST) and running until Friday, April 17, at 5:00pm EST (2:00pm PST) atbundles.bittorrent.com. Nick Barrucci, the CEO and publisher of Dynamite Entertainment, says, “BitTorrent is a far-reaching community, with users in every corner of the globe. They can reach new audiences in areas where comic books may not be currently available. When you combine that reach with BitTorrent’s legendary super-fast downloading technology and the sheer innovation of their recent movie, TV, and music entertainment promotions, it’s easy to see how the Dynamite / BitTorrent partnership is a perfect platform for expanding the comic-loving audience. And who can beat 200 comics (over 4,000 pages of story!) for a pay what you want price – with a minimum of only $6.00? It’s a deal that’s virtually unheard of, available for a limited time. Just imagine how many potential fans we can reach out to, and — based on past experiences of digital initiatives like this — a strong percentage will likely find their way to brick-and-mortar stores afterward.”
Austin Briggs, the Content Strategist of BitTorrent Bundle, says, “The Dynamite Mega Bundle speaks to why we built Bundle; to empower publishers and allow them to distribute their content directly to their audience, in the manner they see fit. We are very excited to partner with Dynamite to offer fans such an exciting collection of amazing work to comic book and graphic novel fans around the world via BitTorrent Bundle.” The Dynamite Mega Bundle will include eight complete graphic novels, which alone comprise a whopping 2,000 pages of sequential storytelling by some of the most recognizable authors in literature and comic books, including George R.R. Martin, Robert Jordan, Amanda Hocking, Grant Morrison, Mark Millar, Warren Ellis, Alan Moore, Jeph Loeb, and Kurt Busiek.
