STAR TREK HUMBLE BUNDLE

With the price of new comic books ranging from $3 to $5 dollars per issue, it can be pricey to read all over the stories that you may be interested in. That is why I really like the Humble Bundle service. It partners with publishers to promote selling themed bundles of comic books that are both very affordable and help out good causes.

Humble Bundle encourages people to pay what they want with a minimum purchase of $1 to receive some digital comic books. Then there are tiers where if you spend certain amounts additional books are included within your bundle. Normally there are three tiers priced at $1, $8 and $15 dollars with extra bonus books also thrown in if the Humble Bundle campaign reaches certain financial goals such as raising $10,000, $50,000 or $100,000.

Often times spending $1 will get you about $25 to $50 worth of comic books and $15 dollars or more buys anywhere between $100 and $300 of value comparable to buying from online digital sellers like Comixology or print editions from traditional comic book shops. Another perk is that the issue you purchase are yours to download and read on your choice of device ranging from PCs to phones rather than having to be accessed from a specific online website portal. Your comic books are available in a variety of formats including CBZ, PDF, and ePub so they can be read whenever and wherever you want to flip through them. Plus a percentage of what you spend is donated to a specially selected charity.

Sci-fi fans aren't going to want to miss out on the newest Humble Bundle! IDW Publishing has put together a great STAR TREK bundle of comic books. You can get yourself $173 worth of Star Trek comics for as little as $15. Don't hesitate to take advantage of the deal because this Humble Bundle is only available for a few days. There is a clock at the top of the offer counting down the time before this Star Trek Humble Bundle expires. Get yourself over to humblebundle.com now to get yourself a bunch of Star Trek comics from IDW Publishing.

I spent $15 dollars myself for this Star Trek Humble Bundle. It is nice that you designate where your money goes. I donated $10 to the partner charity Challenger Center for Space Science Education with $2.50 each going to Humble Bundle and IDW Publishing. That was a great deal and also helped out a nice cause. Created to honor the memory of the lost in the tragic Challenger 51-L space shuttle mission, this charity funds STEM learning centers around the country that use space-themed simulations to engage students in dynamic, hands-on learning opportunities. Visit challenger.org to find out more.

By spending $1 or more on this Humble Bundle you get the equivalent of 13 graphic novels of the IDW Publishing STAR TREK series that ran from 2011-2016. You'll also get a number of mini-series collections including Star Trek/Planet of the Apes: The Primate Directive.

Spending $8 or more also adds a number of Star Trek: The Next Generation comics into your Humble Bundle collection. This tier also includes Star Trek: Alien Spotlight and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy issues into your bundle. It also includes IDW's Star Trek photo-novel series that uses imagery from the original television show episodes to portray stories in a comic book format.

Investing $15 or more into this Humble Bundle will get you a number of comic books based upon the new Star Trek Discovery television series. It also includes two fun cross-over comic book series: Star Trek/Green Lantern and Star Trek/Transformers. Also remember you can spend more than what is being asked for and direct that money to support the Challenger Center for Space Science Education.

So far this Star Trek Humble Bundle has had more than 5,000 purchases and raised more than $60,000 dollars. The average purchase has been $12.25. Join in! Support a good cause and get some great comic books.

Dynamite Entertainment to Explore Early Years in the Career of 007 in Comic Books, Graphic Novels & Digital Comics Beginning in 2015

Bond, James Bond, the British Secret Services' agent 007, will begin to have his adventures chronicled in comic books beginning in 2015 with the announcement of Dynamite Entertainment acquiring the license rights to publish comic books, graphic novels and digital comics starring the character from Ian Fleming Publications Ltd. The fictional secret agent was created by author Ian Fleming in 1953 who featured James Bond in 12 novels and 2 short-story collections.  007 has also been the inspiration for 23 movies ranging from DR NO in 1962 to SKYFALL which was released in 2012. A 24th James Bond film is currently in production slated to open in US theaters on November 6, 2015.  According to the licensing agreement the upcoming comic books by Dynamite Entertainment featuring Fleming's iconic 007 secret agent will re-live the exploits that have thrilled and captivated fans for over half a century in fresh visual adaptations of the classic Bond stories.

Dynamite Entertainment is planning on creating a series of brand new adventures with a focus on the defining, yet largely undocumented, early years of James Bond's career.  These comic books will draw inspiration from the James Bond canon to explore 007's origins, those raw early years before he gambled with his life in the franchise's first novel by Ian Fleming, Casino Royale.  Dynamite is also promising to include familiar faces from the 007 mythos in their series including criminal masterminds, hired henchmen, those glamorous Bond Girls, and secret service allies.

"James Bond is one of the greatest cultural icons in the world.  His author and creator, Ian Fleming, was not only in touch with popular culture in his time, but also saw ahead of his time, and his written work will outlive us all<" said Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite Entertainment in the announcement of the publisher gaining the 007 license.  "The character, the structure and the source material is so incredibly strong.  The original prose storytelling serves the basis for one of the most successful film franchises ever, a franchise that reinvents itself to be in tune with each generation.  By doing so, it allows the character to be an ever-progressive pop culture phenomenon, one that energizes existing fans and engages new fans, thus helping to ensure that Bond's relevance and importance will live forever.  The high-octane action, the charm, the unquestionable allure of this man of action - it all stems from Ian Fleming.  We are excited to build upon Fleming's source material with new canonical stories, and are honored at Dynamite to be a small part of his legacy, to be able to bring new stories to fans around the world."

Corinne Turner, Managing Director of Ian Fleming Publications, added during the announcement of this new partnership, "It's over sixty years since the publication of Casino Royale and now more than ever it's an exciting time to be a Bond fan. We're thrilled that 007 will be revisiting the world of comics, as Fleming's novels have a long and successful history in this medium, ever since  they began to be published as newspaper comic strips in the late fifties.  Dynamite are the perfect partners to take on the challenge of continuing this legacy, and we are very much looking forward to working with them."

Dynamite Entertainment is actually one of A GEEK DADDY blog's favorite comic book publishers because it has created itself a retro niche in restoring the glamor to fictional and fantasy heroes of past generations for the enjoyment of today's audience.  Their titles include Battlestar Galactica, The Bionic Woman, Buck Rogers, Dresden Files, Flash Gordon, The Shadow, Green Hornet, The Lone Ranger, Lord of the Jungle (Tarzan), The Six Million Dollar Man, The Twilight Zone, and John Carter Warlord of Mars.  Dynamite does a nice job of presenting these titles with an artistic nod to their original portrayals ( a 1940's vibe for Flash Gordon, 50's for the Lone Ranger, 60's for the Green Hornet and 70's for Battlestar Galactica and The Six Million Dollar Man for example) and through writing intriguing and interesting stories that mix in classic characters and themes from these franchise's canon while also expanding on the adventures and journeys by adding new elements and figures to the mix. 

Now James Bond is joining the lineup and A GEEK DADDY is excited to see what Dynamite does to bring 007 to life in a comic book format.  Keep an eye out on book store shelves (brick & mortar and digital) in 2015 for this new comic book series.
