There isn’t any new Star Trek comic release to review this week, but there is some comic news announced today by IDW. The publisher of Star Trek comics has teamed up with charity digital distributor Humble Bundle to offer fans a chance to pick up Trek comics for a big discount while also donating to a good cause. Details below.
Donate To Charity to Get Great Deal On Digital Trek Comics
IDW Publishing and pay-what-you-want plus charity digital distributors Humble Bundle are joining forces to offer fans more than $270 worth of digital Star Trek comics with 66 issues in total (grouped into 13 collection volumes). The level of your donation determines how many digital comics you will receive, as explained in this video.
You can donate to get your comics at humblebundle.com.

The Humble Star Trek Bundle supports The Hero Initiative, a non-profit organization that provides a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life and an avenue back into paying work. Thanks to the generosity of the community, Humble Bundle purchasers have contributed more than $44 million toward charity to date.
The Humble Star Trek Bundle presented by IDW ends on Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 11 a.m. PDT.

Mark, in your first paragraph it says Bumble instead of Bundle.
And further down- “you will receive four voldumes…”
The bundles are definitely a good deal if you like Trek and are a comic reader.
I don’t usually read comics, but that seems like an awfully good deal; this might be the time for me to try them out….
@crazydaystrom Thanks for correcting my fat-fingered bumbling.
@Corylea It’s a great time to try out Star Trek comics. Most Humble Bundle books come in several formats too, usually PDF, EPUB and MOBI, so you can read them on just about any device.
Wow, this is an amazing deal! I’m in!
is it just me or is this a con?
Tried to pay through paypal & it didn’t recognise any on my codes/email
Just wanted my Credit Card number…
Managed to Pay through Paypal but recieved no emails or codes to get any comics.
Thanks.
Incredibly slow, but coming through.
