I'm told the bunker is a good one, but yet to read it myself. It really is pot luck, but a damn good price to be taking a punt.
Also 37 free issues which expires in 24 hours

The price sounds about right. Indie artists want exposure and people reading their work, this is a great way
$10 for a no name comic on the other hand, that's living in their own fantasy land
That's being just a little harsh, I think. These books aren't just backyard vanity projects, these creators are serious about what they do. The $10 books are full length graphic novels, some 300 odd pages, about 10x the length of a typical hero book from Marvel or DC. They shouldn't have to undercut themselves just because they don't work for the big guys.
I'm tempted. I'm about to get myself a 7" tablet and I'll see how the freebie comics I've already got look on it. If good, I think I'll pick up this deal if it's still around.
I've read a few, and peeked samples at others, so far I'm impressed. Very wide variety and quality is up there with the more well known publishers. If you like guided view reading (which I can only say is fantastic) and enjoy comics outside of the Marvel/DC norms, you should find it worth while.
Any idea how long I've got before it's not available anymore?
I can't find an expiry date, but I've asked the question on twitter. I'll let you know if I get an answer.
Cheers Mik :-)
EDIT: Aha, it was there all the time in the banner pic:
"Offer Ends March 10th at 11pm EST in North America and at local evening times in other regions."Crap, that's only about 18 hours away. Means I have to decide kinda now.
Decision made. I now have a cubic crap-tonne of comics to get me started into the geek-lyfe.
I was just coming to say they responded, but I see you've got your answer. Enjoy!
probably a day or so. Its a convention special.
seems like a good deal but I've not heard of any of them. any that stand out in this list?
