The first comic book I ever read was a Star Trek comic. It was given to nine-year-old me by a gentleman down the street who was handing out kid-friendly monthlies for Halloween instead of candy. That, my friends, is an upstanding citizen.
Speaking of do-gooders, let’s talk about the Hero Initiative, a non-profit that provides financial support for comic creators in times of need. They’re the charity of choice for the Humble Star Trek Bundle, a pay-what-you-want digital collection of the Federation’s finest. Presented by Humble Bundle and IDW, the bundle offers sixty-six issues of phaser-firing adventures.
I’m always happy to spread the word for a good cause, but this is a mighty fine offer to boot. The basic collection includes Star Trek Classics Vol. 1, Star Trek Classics Vol. 2, Star Trek: Best of Klingons and Star Trek: Gold Key Archives Vol. 1. If you pay more than the average price (currently $10.71), you’ll also get Star Trek: The Next Generation – Hive, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Burden of Knowledge and Star Trek: Mirror Images. Pay $15 or more, and they’ll sweeten the deal with Star Trek: Countdown, Star Trek: Movie Adaptation, Star Trek Nero, Star Trek: Spock Reflections, Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness and Star Trek Vol. 1. That should cover your weekend reading pretty nicely.
The bundle disappears forever on Wednesday, September 17, so…y’know. Make it so.
