At this point of the year, you’re probably saving your bucks for all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, not to mention the usual festive season splurge. But, if you set aside just 14 or so of those bucks (USD $1) right now, you can read the first volumes of 10 different Top Cow comic series. For a minimum of R220 (USD $15) you’ll unlock over 30 books – including the entirety of Stjepan Sejic’s bizarrely loveable bondage romcom Sunstone.
The Sex & Science Humble Comics Bundle from Top Cow Productions features work from such notable comic creators as Marc Silvestri, Matt Hawkins, Mark Waid, Laura Braga, Ron Marz and the Sejics, Stjepan and Linda. Like the Bundle’s name suggests, the collections mostly cover the science fiction and slice-of-life genres – which Top Cow has focused on in recent years – although supernatural action does get a look-in courtesy of The Darkness: Rebirth, Angelus and a Witchblade manga.
For sci-fi lovers, there’s Think Tank, Cyber Force, Symmetry, Rest and Aphrodite IX, among others. The sex quotient of the Bundle is satisfied by Sunstone and a sample of upcoming open-relationship romance Swing, and blesser-blessee tale Sugar. Meanwhile, the three volumes of Linda Sejic’s offbeat comedy Blood Stain offer a mix of lab-coated misadventure and relationship angst.
You have 12 days left to pay what you want for the Sex & Science Bundle, which offers more than enough reading for the end of year break. Here’s a rundown of what’s included with every pay tier.
