Honestly, this is a really good deal. And that fact that the money goes to charity makes it even better. You get a ton of comics and support a great cause.

So if you download it on Ipad, how do you read it? Sorry if that sound like I'm technologically challenged….

Right so what's the reading order for these. Because holy bop there's a lot here.

I'm wondering if this will be the status quo going forward – Every year we get a new bundle where previous purchasers get to "top up" last years bundle at a reasonable price, whereas new people pay full whack and get the entire back catalogue.
For me, doing a yearly catch up on IDW is the perfect way to read these comics, and the HB is giving me an easy way of doing it.

I already bought the second bundle with MTMTE and RID TPB
I have 0 interest in GIJoe,
but 25$ for charity for the entire phase 1 plus parts of phase 2 including latest TPB of TAAO? I ll bite

So I'm trying to figure out how much of this new bundle I need since I purchased the first three bundles in previous years. I left out everything but Transformers IDW comics (no classics, no regeneration, no crossovers).
Bundle 1 (2014):
Bundle 2 (2015):
Bundle 3 (2016):
Bundle 4 (2017):
After looking at the listings for everything in Level 4 on Amazon, I'm guessing that I don't need those as I already have all of those comics, so I should be safe just getting Level 3. Am I right?
P.S. Sorry for the long post!
Spekkio
Correct. Sometimes also MOBI.

Well I wanted to get into reading IDW TFs, and here comes an opportunity huh.
Probably as downloadable PDF/EPUB/CBZ files

That is a great deal… I haven't read the older IDW stuff, I tried to jump on with Dark Cybertron, but it wasn't very good.
How is this delivered to you, can you only read them on their site, or can you use an app, like comixology?

We finally get another Transformers Humble Bundle and half of it's GI Joe and half of it's comics I probably already own. Bleh.

I'm not a fan of Digital comics but I LOVE G.I. Joe so hopefully i'll be able to go for this. I wish this deal lasted longer though, it would be great for Christmas.

I may bite on this. $25 buys alot of goodness.

I don't think any TF fiction has enriched the overall lore of the franchise as much as IDW has since Beast Wars, and for that, I really appreciate that. I think from about 2012 to like 2015, they were some of the best comics out there. Unfortunately, there was a slow decline in quality since then, and the Hasbro-verse has basically ruined the universe beyond repair for me.
Snake_eyes1975
most of the modern tf comics really suck if you ask me. I just dont get it. I love the miner megatron origin story, and a few one shots..
But even still..$25 for ALL this??!?! holy shit..this IS one of the most baddass humble bundles ive seen in awhile

Oh I got those back when they came out. I only stopped getting the books regularly after All Hail Megatron, and I still got digital versions pretty much straight through to the start of Revolution, when the massive "dump everything Hasbro ever did into this continuity" plan put me off of IDW pretty much entirely.
G.B. Blackrock
Yes, digital copies. Folks who've gone in other Humble Bundles may know differently, but so far as I'm aware, the only time I've ever seen a physical item available was when they included a physical set of Revolution trading cards with the most recent TF-related Humble Bundle.
shamanking282
They have not. I imagine that if they ever pull their heads out of their asses and finish the UK material (and maybe G2?!), we may get a bundle a year or so after that.
Would LOVE a Marvel GI Joe Bundle tho
I mean, if you haven't read the pre Roberts/Barber era, it may be worth it. The Furman stuff (IDW Collection 1-4) is pretty cool, though quality definitely drops after that.
