What is Dynamite's announcement for today? A Red Sonja one shot reuniting talents from her run since her 1973 debut, including Roy Thomas, Gail Simone, Luke Lieberman, and Eric Trautmann, along with writer Cullen Bunn and artists Dave Acosta and Rich Buckler. Because when it's a character's 42nd birthday, it's time to celebrate with classic brokeback. Here's a startling fact: Although most often associated with the Conan the Barbarian oeuvre, Red Sonja, as "The She-Devil with a Sword" was actually created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith in an issue of Conan. The character was based on a short story by Conan creator Robert E. Howard called "The Shadow of the Vulture" that featured a character called red Sonya of Rogatine. It was Thomas who figured out how to add her to the Conan mythos.

With C2E2 coming up it looks like another week of Dynamite news. Starting out...a monthly Bob's Burger comic with creators from the animated series involved, including creator Loren Bouchard. The first Bob's Burgers mini series was a surprise hit for Dynamite with multiple printings, a best selling collection and one of the top ordered FCBD comics. The series launches in July. The PR didn't mention the artists on these variant covers, but as with most variants, they look nice.

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.

This digital bundling thing is getting to be a habit—and Dynamite is taking full advantage of it. Following successful team ups with Humble Bundle and Groupees, they've just teamed up with StoryBundle, an indie book bundler that is doing comics for the first time. Proceeds will benefit the CBLDF and Girls Write Now, so you can choose your preferred good deed while reading over 100 Dynamite comics. As with other bundlers, this is a pay what you want model, although the minimum is $5. Books offered include graphic adaptations of Amanda Hocking and Jim Butcher, Vampirella and Red Sonja.

WHO will be the Netflix/Spotify of comics? Several companies have been trying to offer all you can eat comcis buffets, but a lack of top content has been holding them back. But Scribd just made a major play announcing a $8.99 a month plan that allows you access to 10,000 comics, including top titles from Marvel, IDW/Top Shelf, Archie, Dynamite and Valiant. Scribd has been around for a while as en embeddable pdf reader, and already offers over a million ebooks and audiobooks on a subscription basis, so this makes a lot of sense.
