They were quite strange to start with, at just 2 and 7 pages. I think that perhaps they were meant to be free with a bundle, but briefly went live unbundled accidentally. I was able to buy them, but they now don't appear in my recent purchase list.

They've been doing a lot of those little bonus extras type of books as bundle only things lately.

Interestingly, a lot of the volumes are the new Boom series. I've only read bits of those and they're not as good as the classics, but I wouldn't mind reading them in a bundle. The classics so far are mostly the themed collections, with the only chronological one being the first volume from 1950-52. I think I'll keep an eye on this one and see how it progresses.

Yeah, it's a pretty nice mix of old and new. I don't own any of the Boom books yet, so I went ahead and did the middle tier to secure all those. That guarantees that this will be a bundle where the average drops like a rock going into Charlie Brown's trick or treat bag. I'll up to the $15 later possibly.

It seems like an odd marketing tactic for there to be concurrent Comixology sales and Humble Bundles on the same items - such as has been the case for Army of Darkness and now Peanuts.

Rest well era of weekly Dark Horse sales; you were nice while you lasted. [Fingers crossed the epic Cyber Monday deals will remain].

I guess Boom's reasoning might be that the markets don't necessarily overlap, so might as well push the series in all avenues, particularly with the Peanuts movie coming out (today?).

Marvel Monday is on two storylines, the 14 issue Maximum Carnage and 7 issue Minimum Carnage arcs, $.99 singles.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 
I'm surprised to see a sale on Maximum Carnage, I picked up the digital collection in one of the BOGO sales because I assumed it was a dated relic not likely to be spotlighted [Carnage feels like an remnant from the 'extreme' 90s era, a failed attempt to make Venom even darker to a fault]. Speaking of which, I wish Marvel would complete the Clone Saga trades to be available digitally.

I have fond memories of trying to piece together the Maximum Carnage series within the limitations of my allowance and lunch money.

...Waiting on another Savage Dragon sale.

I bought them all, I thought, in one of the BOGO sales as well. Noticed one was missing though, so picked it up in the Marvel app just now. Makes me wonder though, if maybe I purchased it twice. Anyone ever have purchases disappear from their account?

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 
I'm not sure why I always avoid buying into this sale, as The Sandman is perhaps the best comic series ever; perhaps because I already own it in multiple physical versions. But anyway, the week long sale from DC/Vertigo is on tons of Sandman and Sandman-related greatness. Sale ends 11/16/15, $.99 singles and $5.99 collections.
The Sandman 1-75 and Special 1; ten collections and Endless Nights original graphic novel
The Sandman: The Dream Hunters 1-4; collection
Death: The High Cost of Living 1-3; deluxe collection
Death: The Time of Your Life 1-3; same deluxe collection
The Dreaming 1-60
The Dead Boy Detectives 1-12; two collections and one original graphic novel
Neverwhere 1-9; collection
The Books of Magic 1-4; collection
Black Orchid 1-3; collection
The Children's Crusade 1-2
The Girl Who Would Be Death 1-4
Midnight Days original graphic novel
Witchcraft 1-3
Witchcraft: La Terreur 1-3
Destiny: A Chronicle of Deaths Foretold 1-3
https://www.comixology.com/Sandman-Sale/page/8705

Also, a week long sale from IDW on their remastered versions of the Image original (classic?) The Maxx. The first three collections have a higher page count than the singles, but not the fourth; sale ends 11/16/15.
The Maxx: Maxximized 1-24 at $.99 each
collections 1-3 at $3.99 each (issues 1-4, 5-8, 9-12)
collection 4 at $5.99 (issues 13-18)

I was wondering about that - it means no extras in the TP? Are there any bonuses in the single issues not included in the collection?

It's a great series, but I already have the original Image books, so not too stressed to get it in digital form as well.

I flipped through the first volume of Maxximized and see 2-3 intro splash pages, a one page introduction from Sam Keith, and at the end a 10 page cover (b&w, variants) and raw sketch gallery.

Of the ten Image #1's on my Comixology wishlist Lazarus is the only one offered. So I grabbed that and The Walking Dead #1.
