Glad you posted about this! I emailed [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION] as soon as I saw it, but couldn't find/remember how to post it properly myself.
Both bundles are incredible deals, and an incredibly smart response/challenge to WotC and the popularity of 5th Edition. They did do a D&D Comics Humble Bundle a while back, and it was great, but of course, there are still no signs that 5th Edition hardcover material will be released in PDF form, much less offered in a bundle!
As for the bundle itself, these are great stories, and perfect for introducing readers/players/GMs to the world of Pathfinder and Golarion. And the mini maps have always been a charming addition to the physical comics (save for the second? series where they cheaped out, before protests brought them back). Now they are finally available digitally, and a couple exclusive ones for this bundle to boot! If you pay $15, you can get all their past comics, save for the last 2-3 issues.

I have the first six issue compilation already from Comixology, and while I didn't really like the artwork, there was a surprising amount of good RPG content included. Don't know if that continued in all the comics but it's worth a look.

Also I'm tempted by all the maps. Looks like they are 16" by 10" so could be printed on two 8.5" by 11" sheets of paper, is that right?

I agree, Jay, I wasn't a fan of the first series' artwork - it made the heroes look too much like the monsters for my tastes. I did find that the artwork improved with the change of artist. I have the first two, plus the Goblins! series all in hardcopy. The maps were great, useful both in the mini-adventure included in the comics, and for other things. Always wanted a digital copy - esp. when a batch of my hardcopies were water-damaged. Shouldn't have a problem printing them out over two pieces of paper - or even better some photo-paper.

BTW, there is exactly one week left on this deal, and they've topped it up so that all but the latest issue of the current series is up (Hollow Mountain #4 is the only one missing).

Even if you have no interest in Pathfinder, Golarion, or comics, it's still worthwhile for the 24 battlemaps (8" x 10", in PDF) included. While designed for the mini-adventures included in most series, most are sufficiently general that they can be easily re-purposed for your own games.
