Go, Potentially Buy: A Pair Of Bundled Sales

It's hard for me within the mission of this site find a lot of room to run news of sales, but I will get interested in them at times. The site comiXology is running one right now in conjunction with SXSW and their presence there and also an anniversary for the Submit program. These can be devastatingly effective sales not for the thought of getting a bunch of stuff you've never heard of but for getting a small grouping of stuff you've heard of -- here it's the Derf and the Forsman and the Cossé -- and then all the other stuff becomes a throw in. On the other hand, I have no idea how creators get paid when this stuff is bundled, and that matters to a lot of people. Still, I can't imagine this being done against their will. I've bought it.

The other one is a giant digital offering for Bloom County. That works differently in that there are partial offerings for next to no money and then more offerings when certain thresholds are hit. There's a charitable element, too. Bloom County is an interesting strip -- no one's really done anything with the same rhythms that hasn't been outright putrid -- and certainly is a beloved strip for people my age and a little bit older for the reliability and range of its '80s pop culture commentary. It's also worth noting that there haven't been a lot of ways discovered to profit in any way on-line from these comic strips with a long history, and maybe how this one does could point us in a direction worth pursuing.
