The Next Books- a question: (Patreon)
Content
Thank you all for your surprising and rapid response to the new book launch! Monday's gonna be a busy one. :)
But, while I have your attention, I have a question: The next storyline following the contents of Book 12, is the famous "Longest Day" tale, with everyone at the paintball field and Doc goes nuts with the Gatling gun. That's all one long storyline, and stretches out to about 400 strips.
A typical TWB book is between 100 and 120 strips. The biggest one, Book 4- also a single consistent storyline- is 160 strips.
So the question is, do I offer that as one big book, or as a set of three normal sized books.
One Big Book would be a full-size issue, not the half-page sized books we're used to, with four strips per page rather than just two. It'd be slightly thicker than a regular book, but it'd keep the storyline all together in a single 'graphic novel'. The only real drawback being that, for those of you collecting books, it'll be the 'odd man out', a different size and shape than all the others.
The Set Of Three would be just like the current books, just slightly thicker than usual. The only drawback there being due to space issues, I may have to break the storyline at odd places to separate the books. But, they'll match everything else in your collection- if that's important to you. :)
The third option is that I could potentially do both. The problem there is that it's twice as much work- and it was already going to be a fair-sized project doing three more books at once.
So let me know what'cha think!
Doc.
