Tiny Onion is excited to announce a team-up with Humble Bundle for “The Frightening and Fantastic Worlds of James Tynion IV” bundle—in collaboration with comic book publishers DC, BOOM! Studios, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and DSTLRY—launching today, July 17. Partial proceeds from the bundle will benefit The Binc Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to assisting comic book retailers and booksellers across the United States with support for employees, owners, and their families experiencing unexpected financial crises.

“We are grateful for every publisher and creator that partners with Humble Bundle and thinks of Binc when selecting their charity of choice,” said Pam French, executive director of Binc. “Thank you Tiny Onion and James Tynion IV for your support for book and comic people around the country.”

Valued at over $628, the digital comics bundle provides an accessible jumping-on point for new readers and existing fans alike with a pay-what-you-want charitable model. “The Frightening and Fantastic Worlds of James Tynion IV” bundle features 41 popular titles, including Eisner and GLAAD Award-winning books co-created by New York Times bestselling writer, Tynion. It will include all eight available volumes of the BOOM! Studios groundbreaking monster-slayer series Something is Killing the Children, which has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and is headed for the screen (as reported by The Hollywood Reporter), as well as all volumes of popular spinoff titles Books of Slaughter (Vol. 1-3) and House of Slaughter (Vol. 1-6). And with the fifth anniversary of critically acclaimed conspiracy theory thriller The Department of Truth coming this September, readers can catch up by investigating the cases in the first four volumes of the Image Comics series, as well as The Department of Truth: Wild Fictions collected edition, ahead of the release of the ​much anticipated issue #0. The bundle will also include both volumes of DC’s multi-Eisner Award-winning series The Nice House on the Lake by Tynion and artist Álvaro Martínez Bueno.

Readers will be able to explore the frightening and fantastic worlds of mastermind Tynion through this limited time offer which will also include digital volumes and issues of bestselling books like The Woods, Wynd, Memetic, and The Backstagers from BOOM! Studios; The Closet, The Deviant, and WORLDTR33 from Image Comics; Blue Book, The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos, and True Weird from Dark Horse Comics; and Spectregraph from DSTLRY.

The bundle will be released a week ahead of the 2025 Eisner Awards at San Diego Comic-Con and will feature​ nominated titles. Previous Eisner winner Tynion is nominated again for Best Writer for his work on Something is Killing the Children, Wynd, Blue Book, The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos, Spectregraph, The Department of Truth, The Deviant, and WORLDTR33. The Department of Truth (by Tynion, Martin Simmonds, and Aditya Bidikar, with guest contributions by Alison Sampson and Jordie Bellaire) is also nominated for Best Continuing Series, and The Deviant (by Tynion, Joshua Hixson, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou) is nominated for Best Limited Series.

“I’ve written a lot of books over my decade-plus in comics, and I’m thrilled that so many of them have been included in this Humble Bundle,” said Tynion. “Whether you’re already a fan or brand new to the medium, this collection offers a wide variety of award-winning stories, featuring the best artists in comics—all for a great cause.”
