Humble Comics Bundle "Eisner Nominees 2017 Showcase":
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/eisner-nominees-2017-comics

I think I'll pass on this one ... at least three comics ("Faith", "Archangel", "Bloodshot Reborn") have been bundled before, and the rest is too much single issues and the themes of the comics don't sound too interesting to me as well. Hmm, or maybe I'll try the $1 tier.

I went for the $1 tier because I was curious about "Your Black Friend", which I had never heard of before. The hype on the description, dropping names like Rankine and Coates, prodded me into finding out whether it's just hot air.
Just a heads up, the Free Comic Book Day digital version are up on Comixology now.

Well, 8 of the ~50 are up so far. They may end up getting one or three more.

good point, well the bigger named ones (or more like the publishers/comic book writers who have contracts with Comixology)

It appears some comic books are restricted in some countries. The site says that the Adventure Time, and Steven's Universe comics are not available in my region.

OmegaX: It appears some comic books are restricted in some countries. The site says that the Adventure Time, and Steven's Universe comics are not available in my region.
Same in Germany. But that's not my only problem with this bundle. Here's the link:
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/best-of-boom-book-bundle

My analysis:

Bundled before (always Humble Bundles):
"Lumberjanes" (except the special)
"Sons of Anarchy"
"Bravest Warriors"
"Bee and Puppycat"
"The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths"
"Irredeemable Premier" (deluxe version of the normal series that was bundled before, so there may be differences, but the story is the same)
"Hacktivist"

The thing is: Not only are these bundle repeats but before they have been bundled more complete! For example, "Lumberjanes" is here #1-12, but the "10 Years of BOOM!" bundle from 2015 included #1-20. "Irredeemable", "Bravest Warriors", "Sons of Anarchy" were even complete in said bundle while here there are only a few volumes. And instead of finally completing Vol. 2 of "Hacktivist" (the earlier bundle had #1-5 of 6 because the final issue was just out then) they only repeat Vol. 1. Not very considerate ...

The rest of the bundle hasn't been bundled before (as far as I'm aware) but most of it is incomplete as well - apart from some miniseries and a Graphic Novel, but of course those are mostly in the highest tier.

So while this bundle for itself isn't bad, it's definitely far worse than the last Humble BOOM! Bundle (partly regionally restricted, many repeats, few complete stories) and that's pretty disappointing. And still I'm thinking of buying the $15 tier because there ARE some very interesting sounding comics included ... *sigh*

Edit: Oops, I just see that wbforeman999 already said which are repeats. Well, two are better than one, I guess: Obviously I overlooked some single issues from the earlier bundle, while wbforeman999 didn't see that "The Dark Crystal" was bundled before (it was in the "Jim Henson Bundle").

Thanks Geddes17 for the clarification and correction on the The Dark Crystal . I'm sorry to hear some of the comics in the Best of Boom! bundle are region locked. That is always is a bummer. I'm not getting the bundle. Their are far too many repeats from previous bundles and most of the new entries are in $15 tier which is annoying. But if anyone has missed previous Boom bundles this isn't a bad deal. Anyway first time posting in this group forum. I have learned about some great comic deals thanks to this group.

To be honest, the locked comics don't look too interesting to me anyway, but I'm still annoyed by it. And I think I'll skip the bundle as well because there's a good chance the interesting comics might be bundled again in a year or two - but then hopefully in a better bundle with more complete series and fewer repeats (like that really great "10 Years of BOOM!" bundle from 2015) ...

Oh, and by the way: Usually these bundles don't feature comics I've already read and thus am able to recommend (or not), but this time I can say that the "Sons of Anarchy" comics are really quite good for fans of the TV series.

Fwiw, on the almost weekly sales from DC on Comixology, you might not want to buy them on Comixology proper.

You can buy them in the DC app and use your discounted iTunes credit (should be easy to always find 10-20% discount on iTunes cards), and the books appear in your Comixology account as well.

You can buy them on the Kindle store for the same sale prices and get them in both your Kindle and Comixology accounts.
Huge "Humble Manga Bundle Fairy Tail":
https://www.humblebundle.com/books/fairy-tail-manga-books-bundle

Alone 45 (!) volumes of the main series if you take the $15 tier, plus several spin-offs. The only problem is: I don't have the slightest idea if this manga series is any good! According to Wikipedia it seems to be a fantasy story (good) but the target group are teenagers (not so good). Has anyone experiences with "Fairy Tail"?

I saw like 100 episodes of the anime and from what i remember it had some good action scenes and it was quite fun to watch. But i haven't read the manga so i don't know how accurate the comparison will be
