Benefitting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund 



August 25, 2016, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Earlier this month, Dynamite Entertainment announced their partnership with Groupees, the unique media and charity bundling site, to offer "Pure Dynamite", a bundle promotion which includes over 85 digital comics which fans can purchase with "Pay What You Want" pricing power. Today, Dynamite is proud to announce an expansion of the "Pure Dynamite" bundle, adding several new titles to the mix, including Brickleberry, Miss Fury, The Dresden Files: Wild Card, and The Precinct, as well as an additional higher-tier Group Bonus comics. These new titles are being added in at no additional cost to consumers!

Fans should also jump on the additional thresholds with physical items as part of the package. The highest threshold with the Women of Dynamite: Vampirella Statue has fully sold out, and the $75 threshold with a hand drawn sketch has only 13 units left as of the press release.
