Dynamite Comic Bundle on Groupees.Com Benefits CBLDF
Dyanmite Entertainment announced yesterday that they had partnered with Groupees.Com, a charity and media bundling site, to present the first Groupees bundle of digital comics and graphic novels. The ten day promotion runs from March 26th through April 6th and includes over eighty digital comics and graphic novels with a “pay what you want” model not unlike Humble Bundle. A portion of the proceeds will be contributed to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite Entertainment, says, “Groupees has a unique and incredible mechanism to engage fans and bring content to a new audience, as well as reward any fans of our existing audience who wish to take advantage of this promotion. They’ve built a model that stands out and can help grow the fan base for comics, which in turn can bring more readers to the industry, and that is extremely exciting. With comics being – if not the only, then one of the only – forms of print that has grown side by side with digital, we’re proud to be working with Thomas and his team to create more awareness of comics among their audience, who in turn will come into our industry and many of whom will then become ongoing readers.”
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Dynamite Entertainment to offer this First Edition Dynamite Groupees Comic Bundle,” says Thomas Brooke, Groupees Founder and CEO. “Dynamite has an exceptional catalogue of titles and is offering fans in this promotion an amazing deal on some truly exceptional books including the likes of George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell. As we expand into this category of media, we look forward to continuing to work with Dynamite to offer literary fans of all types curated, great deals during our online social events that connect fans and artists.”
