We're used to ComiXology sales, where a stack of titles will be sold at 99 cents each. And Dark Horse's Digital Bundles where a huge amount of digital comics are sold at a huge price, around $100 or so. But they are time sensitive, and if you don't jump in, you will miss out.

Now ComiXology have launched a series of bundles without as stringent time constraints for a number of publishers.

Be warned of course… you may already own some of the titles in the bundles already, including all those Marvel and Image free #1 issues from before, so it may not be as big a deal as it shows, and indeed you may have bought some of the component issues. You may need go do your own maths, but for now…

There's also meant to be a • BOOM! Studios – Adventure Time Bundle but at the time of writing that hasn't gone up yet. Shame, it may be the most popular of the lot! (UPDATE: Apparently it's geoblocked… the UK aren't allowed!)

ComiXology are also allowing people to subscribe to ongoing series, so that the comics turn up in their collections automatically when they are released – and charged as well.
