It’s become one of the biggest cultural sensations in recent years, and The Boys is back for its fabulous fourth season now. Comics publisher Dynamite Entertainment and Humble Bundle are teaming up for a limited time deal for fans of the franchise. Every single The Boys comic book story has been bundled up as a dope digital deal for readers to dive into at an unbeatable price!
This bundle includes the entire 90 issues, or 12 volumes, epic saga of The Boys by Ennis and Robertson. It also adds in the years later epilogue/coda Dear Becky which ran eight issues, revealing essential details on the origins and backstory of the titular group and its key members.
Additionally, a portion of proceeds from sales of the bundle will be going to charity partner the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.

Comics are often a target of ire across libraries, curricula, and other avenues due to the misunderstood and newer nature of the medium.
Crowdfunding Corner: Afrofutures is a concept album told in comics magazine form
Backer Beware: Crowdfunding projects are not guaranteed to be delivered and/or delivered when promised. We always recommend to do your research before backing.
Launching on Kickstarter from RexCo Comics and boutique publisher Cosmic Lion Productions, Afrofutures is an exciting new concept album brought to life in comics magazine form – weaving together nine fresh new stories and three insightful articles, which speak to the narrative of Black futures, culminating in a cosmic slop of culture and influence.
Curated by Troy-Jeffrey Allen, this new 100+ page magazine brings together a diverse range of comics, creators and articles, designed to harness the narrative regarding Black futures. The material falls under, or relates to, the wider umbrella of “Black speculative fiction” – ranging from sci-fi and fantasy to action, drama, and beyond – complemented by a trio of articles that support the genres and stories found within.
The series’ Master of Ceremonies is an artificially intelligent robot named 808. Looking back at us from the end of the world, 808 recontextualizes and remixes the saga of Black mythology – past, present, and future – as only a DJ could; creating an artistic jam session which makes the reader’s experience more akin to a listening party. Through 808’s beat-matching, the rhythm comes together – introducing readers to an alternate history where jazz singers hunt Nazis, Hip-Hop icons gather in the afterlife, superheroes rescue the first Black President of the United States, and more! By the end, the reader should feel as if they’ve gone on a visual journey through sound and time with 808.
The Kickstarter campaign is now live and will run for the next 30 days until mid-July. In addition to digital and physical versions of the 100+ page magazine, backers will find a number of tiers and rewards designed to satisfy all tastes and budgets. There is also a special retail pledge level, which allows supportive retailers to purchase six copies of the magazine at a retail-friendly price.
