I read the first volume of Fathom back when I was first getting into comics. It's the first comic I truly hated.
Well this is a story I can't help but be (morbidly) interested in. Pray do tell...

Just not a fan of Michael Turner's art. At all. A quick google reveals the guy is no longer with us so I'll leave it at that.

Another comics Humble Bundle, this time for a grab-bag of Buffy and Angel comics from IDW and Dark Horse.

Hawkmumbler

Not my thing again, i'm afraid. Could never get into Buffy but I know some fans here will probably lap this up.

Albion

Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

Humble Bundle's running its first manga: Kodansha Comics. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

I can't actually name a dud in that entire list (Seven Deadly Sins is the only one i've never read) for the price is exceptional value. Attack on Titan is great, whilst Soace Brothers, Inuyashiki, and Alita are prog worthy sci-fi. Jump in it!

If my read list was north of 3500 comics (half re-read, half re-read) cos of all those digital comics deals I'd be all over this. As it is I'm resisting digital deals until I get that down (or until I break!).

I hear very good things (in part from these parts) about Attackie Titania whatever it is.

Oh man, that is a an amazing bundle. My only disappointment is that I got Knights of Sidonia Vol 1 - 3 in a previous Humble Bundle, and was hoping to see Vol. 4 and beyond in a future bundle. (actually my biggest disappointment is that Kodansha doesn't release DRM-Free editions of their manga through any other means, except their Humble Bundles. Boo)

Attack on Titan, Parasyte, Inuyashiki, Ajin, and Battle Angel Alita are all up 2000 AD fan's alleys. Even Vinland Saga, if you want some epic bronze age fantasy.

Comixology has some pretty significant discounts on Star Wars trades. Any of them worth a go?

I can't see this as I'd be interested in checking for of the Marvel (is it) trades. I really enjoyed the Leia mini if that was there.

It was May the 4th only and yeah, it was the Marvel stuff.

Hawke/Adventurer, is the manga bundle suitable for teens?

Are we talking above or below 15? If below, I hate to say it, but no. Except for maybe Fairly Tail and Space Brothers most of these skew toward graphic depictions of violence and mature psychological situations. If they've already been exposed to, say, Attack on Titan, and have been okay with it, you'd probably be fine though.

Thanks Adventurer, she's 13 and I am finding Manga a bit of a minefield.  Ill avoid it for the while.
