Happy Free Comic Book Day!
If you can’t make it to a comic book store today, why not try some digital comics? Four independent comic book publishers–Dynamite, Image, IDW Publishing, and Oni Press–are coming together to offer a low-cost entry into their critically acclaimed graphic novels, many reviewed here previously at borg.com. The pay-what-you-want “Bundle of Independents” features approximately $300 worth of books by some of the comic book industry’s best creators. Books in the bundle include titles by Howard Chaykin, Ande Parks, Garth Ennis, Greg Rucka, Andy Diggle, Peter Milligan, Jim Starlin, Jae Lee, Tim Seeley, Jeff Lemire, Dustin Nguyen, Brian Wood, Rick Remender, Joe Hill, Sam Keith, Cullen Bunn, and many others.
This bundle showcases not only some of comics’ best creators but their original creations, and sales support the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
The first tier is unlocked with a $5.00 minimum contribution, while a $12.00 minimum offers fans an additional batch of graphic novels, with even more available for a $25.00 or greater contribution. The more readers contribute, the more it allows publishers and creators to continue to make other comics available.
The $5.00 Tier includes eight comics and collections, valued at approximately $70:
· The Boys Vol. 1 by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson (Dynamite Entertainment)
· Revival, Vol. 1 by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton (Image)
