Back in my college days, I was a huge fan of the ElfQuest series of comics. Well, for 18 bucks, you can own The Compete ElfQuest Bundle. I'm all in, 'nuff said!

Wow. A "mature audiences" bundle at Humble Bundle. Not something that I expected. That being said, I am a HUGE fan of the various Humble Bundle Comics Bundles. Comic books are priced out of the realm of the average consumer, and Humble Bundle comes to the rescue. I have no idea if any of the content in the Zdarsky and Fraction Bundle is going to be in my wheelhouse, but for 18 bucks, I can roll the dice ;)
Treat yourself to some of the boldest stories in the comics medium with this bundle, including work by renowned creators Matt Fraction, Chip Zdarsky, and many others! Big Hard Sex Criminals tells the story of two individuals who embark on a crime spree thanks to their unique ability to stop time. Public Domain is a stark, emotionally evocative examination of the tangled world of comic book rights, delivered with wit and humanity. Get all these and more—over 20 volumes of amazing comics in all—and help support charity with your purchase.

Join Finn, Jake, and the rest of your faves from the Land of Ooo on a series of new adventures in this bundle of Adventure Time comics from Oni Press. You’ll get 75 issues of wild quests, magical mishaps, and hilarious hijinks, featuring a rogues gallery of beloved baddies familiar to longtime fans as well as unexpected alliances and plenty of whimsical chaos, as only Adventure Time can provide. Plus, your purchase helps the Hero Initiative and the Book Industry Charitable Foundation.

I remember stumbling across Cerebus at Forbidden Planet in lower Manhattan in the mid-80s. Soon after, I found a small cache of well-read earlier issues of Cerebus at St Mark's Comics. I was hooked, but finding Cerebus was spotty at best, and soon I was no longer regularly reading it.
Humble Bundle has the complete run of Cerebus, all 300 issues, for 18 bucks in PDF. I suspect the rest of my weekend is spoken for ;)
A giant of indie comics
Explore the pioneering indie comic saga Cerebus, a sprawling epic spanning 6,000 pages, touching on humor, political satire, and the wide-ranging philosophical musings of its creator Dave Sim. It also stars an anthropomorphic aardvark. What starts out as a send-up of Conan-style sword & sorcery evolves into something much bigger. Experience it all in this bundle, from early graphic novel chapters like High Society and Church & State, to the very end of the saga in The Last Day. Pay what you want for this essential cult classic and help support the Global Foodbanking Network with your purchase.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first few seasons of The Boys and have yet to read the comics. I've heard the comics are even better and more disturbing than the Amazon Video series. If so, this is going to be a fun read ;)

As I've mentioned in other posts (and videos) I'm a HUGE fan of digital comics and graphic novels. The best sale prices are literally at Humble Bundle (although Bundle of Holding does get some nice collections of KotDT at times).
Haven't tried digital comics yet? For a buck, you can get the series below (about 500 pages in length). You can always return for the "full boat" of 61 titles for 25 bucks ;)
Here's the rest of the $25 bundle:

I'm a secret comic book junkie, but I no longer have the room, nor the desire, to collect physical comic books. I've pivoted to digital for my comic book reading, and bundles like the current Humble Comic Bundle - The Witcher & Cyberpunk 2077 is EXACTLY what I'm looking for at 19 titles for 18 bucks? Sign me up and take my cash :)

It's rare that I find the One Dollar level of a Humble Bundle offers something of real value, but for a single buck, you can get the first 5 issues of the Rick & Morty Comic Collection. Sure, you can grab SIXTY issues for 18 bucks, for for a single buck, this is a great way to check out digital comic books.
Join the universe’s most notorious superscientist Rick Sanchez and his hapless grandson Morty on adventures across time and space—and beyond all reason—in this bundle of Rick and Morty comics from Oni Press! Based on the hit [adult swim] animated series, this collection features 60 issues from the acclaimed original run, taking readers from dimension C-132 to C-137 and a host of alternate realities in between. Lose yourself in the Rick & Morty comics multiverse, and help support BINC and The Hero Initiative with your purchase!

I only managed to snag 2 or 3 issues of Eerie over the years, and the content was, mostly very good. Sure, some clunkers were in there, but there was also some work by artists and writers that would make huge names for themselves in mainstream comic books.
Looking for some macabre reading for the spookiest season of the year? Fix your gaze upon this massive Eerie archive from Dark Horse, collecting over 130 issues of the long-running horror comics magazine! Featuring terrifying tales and astonishing artwork from legends like Gray Morrow, Frank Frazetta, Alex Toth, Neal Adams, and Joe Orlando, this Eerie library is for everyone who loves strange and twisted tales of terror, fantasy, and science fiction. Lose yourself in the Eerie Archives, and help support the Hero Initiative with your purchase!
