Look at the size of this thing! There are so many puns to be made and this Humble Bundle pr makes the most of them. And while Marvel may be publishing Star Wars now, Dark Horse has a mighty backlist of Star Wars classics. Sp get in on this pay what you want download. ALSO for the first time, Dark Horse is offering DRM-free downloads.
Oni’s Humble Bundle just ended with $149,733.13 and 13,023 purchases, BTW.
These are the comics you’re looking for. Humble Bundle and Dark Horse Comics have teamed up to launch the Humble Star Wars Comics Bundle today. Starting at 11 a.m. PDT, fans of the epic sci-fi franchise can pay what they want for up to $190 worth of digital comics, all while supporting a great cause.
Customers can pay what they want for Star Wars Omnibus: A Long Time Ago… Volume 1, Star Wars: Empire Volume 1 – Betrayal, Star Wars: Jedi Volume 1 – The Dark Side, Star Wars: Crimson Empire Volume 1, Star Wars: Darth Maul Death Sentence and Star Wars: Blood Ties – Jango and Boba Fett. Those who pay more than the average price will also unlock Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command, Star Wars: The Old Republic Volume 1 – Blood of the Empire, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Volume 1 – Commencement, Star Wars: Legacy Volume 1 – Broken and Star Wars: Dark Times Volume 1 – The Path to Nowhere. Hardcore fans who pay $15 or more will receive all of the above, plus Star Wars Volume 1: In the Shadow of Yavin, bringing this bundle to a total of 89 issues of Star Wars comics.
As with all Humble Bundles, customers can choose how their purchase dollars are allocated, between the comic creators and charity. The Humble Star Wars Comics Bundle defies the dark side and supports the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the First Amendment rights of the comics medium. Thanks to the generosity of the Humble Bundle community, more than $47 million has been contributed to more than 30 different causes to date.
The Humble Star Wars Comics Bundle runs for two weeks and ends on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 at 11 a.m. PDT. For more information, please visit https://www.humblebundle.com/books
Nice!
Standard question for anyone who’s bought it: what’s the quality like? I’ve bought several bundles and had varying results. The Transformers Bundle made you choose between a ridiculously oversized PDF or a very low-quality CBZ, epub or mobi file (or a low-quality PDF); the Boom Bundle mostly had only low-quality files. The Valiant Bundle started out with the same problem as the Transformers Bundle but they later replaced the low-quality files with reasonable medium-sized versions, and the Walking Dead bundle had reasonably-sized files from the get-go.
I did not expect Dark Horse would jump on this before other smaller imprints but it was a pleasant surprise. I hope we will get other Dark Horse offerings before long.
@Thad:
I checked only some of them and my opinion is that the low quality PDFs are no good but the high definition PDFs look great even on a full HD monitor and not as large as the ones in the Valiant bundle (around one third, one fourth of the size). The CBZ files are around the middle of the size and quality of the PDF options.
