| Anime Expo is this weekend, and publishers are dealing out a couple of digital bargains for fans who can’t be there. Dark Horse has put a selection of manga on sale: It looks like the first three to five volumes of an assortment of series, including some classics: Blade of the Immortal, Oh My Goddess, and Trigun Maximum are among the selections. Honestly, Dark Horse’s digital manga is not super cheap, but Trigun Maximum for $2.99 a volume is a good deal, and the sale brings the price of each volume of Oh My Goddess down to the standard manga price of $4.99. So if you have been holding out, now is probably the time to buy. Meanwhile, the weekly manga magazine Shonen Jump is offering an Anime Expo special: Check the site for a special code that drops the price of an annual subscription from $25.99 to $19.99. This deal is good through July 14. Viz also takes 20% off a handful of manga volumes every Monday; this week’s selections are the first two volumes of Biomega, Itsuwaribito, and Rasetsu. Back in the realm of American comics, comiXology is running a 99-cent sale on American Vampire. In this series, published under DC’s Vertigo imprint, there are several species of vampire, and the story jumps around in time following different characters in different eras. It’s a great read at a bargain price. This is a seven-day sale that started July 2. And if you like your superheroes with complications, check out comiXology’s sale on Mark Waid’s Irredeemable and Incorruptible. Irredeemable is the story of a superhero who becomes a villain, while Incorruptible flips that around and tells the story of a villain who changes his ways. You can buy both as single-issue comics for 99 cents each or in handy omnibus editions at a higher price (it varies). This sale ends at 11 p.m. (EST) on Sunday so don’t dawdle. Then you can head over to Waid’s Thrillbent digital comics site and read the third story, Insufferable, for free in a digital-friendly format. I’m not familiar with the third series comiXology has on sale, ’68, but it looks like Vietnam War-era zombies, which could be interesting.
