Humble Image Bundle: name your price for Walking Dead, Saga, Chew and more; benefit CBLDF too!

I’m usually a huge fan of HIB and I’ll often get them for myself or buy them as a gift even if I’m not particularly interested, just to support the cause. But I find this particular bundle far less generous; instead of a collection of fully playable games, or hundreds of pages of books, this is really just a bunch of volumes #1, each of which collects the first few issues of the comic. That’s like getting a game with IAP, or only getting the first chapter of a book, as I see it. If these were full graphic novels I’d be buying it instantly. Instead I feel like it’s a bit of a sham - a loss leader presented by the comic authors instead of being a real contribution.

I don’t know - I’m not a huge comic reader or anything, so maybe I’m “out of the demo” or I’m thinking of it wrong. I just don’t see spending even $15 just to get a sampler of comics that I’ll have to pay another $10 each for subsequent volumes.
