new update today.

I have a lot of preparing today and I am working hard on 9 and 8- edits are almost done on 8 which means it goes to print hopefully late next week.

I am also working on a graphic novel aspect of the bean. It is about time we start putting the comics into some big books. So I am going to start combing them. Books 1 through 4 are going to be book 1. It will be in b/w though, no color yet. Remember the main goal is to finish our tale. Which has a ways to go:) Once it is done i will color the whole thing…promise.

The main problem is costs, i just cant fund color right now, nor do i have the time to jump in. Yet I can almost fund a b/w one. Maybe we will do presales and I will give incentives and such.

Well back to issue 9 and prepping for a con next week

Curiosity Question:

Are you an update reader or do you wait for a few weeks and read a group at a time.

I just started reading you comic and I love it.
As for your question I have hundreds of comics that i read so I'm not able to read only on the updates it usually takes me a week or 2 to get through all of them.
I know you have been wondering about the color vs b&w. IMHO if the story and art are good color is not needed. With the hints here and there for color I would love to see these pages in color. I would reread the whole story

    Totally understand that- i have the same problem with comments- try to get them all but occasionally i miss a few.

    One day i will do this in color- but you are right – if the story and art is good color is not needed:)

"Graphic novel" I interpreted as the type with mostly writing and fewer images.
I had the wrong idea.
It is most assured your graphic novel will be of the highest quality if its the buffed-up web version !

    actually they have a long walk ahead of them- give em a few miles and they will be back to their usual nasty little selves

I read as each update comes out and then at the end of the month I drop back and batch read it all at once. It's the best of both worlds!

Update reader…I'll "batch read" when the big book comes out. 🙂

    Trav the bean » 17 Jun 2011 » Reply

    that is understandable

    I'm with Billy here. I read the updates on my RSS feed, but when the big book comes out, you better bet your bippy I'll be buying it and rereading it. Honestly, I know the story will flow a little better for me when I read it a book at a time, but your work is just THAT good, I can't help wanting to read every update the moment it comes out!

    (Consider your ego boosted. 😉

RSS Feed for me.

Heh, I'm a book reader! I basically just wait for you to say you've got a new book ready and order it. I guess I just can't wait to see what's gonna happen next. 😉

update reader. the only thing that keeps me sane is that i read a lot of webcomics. only a handful update regularly.

Christian » 17 Jun 2011 » Reply

I read by feed. Can't wait for the next update. It's a golden speck of light during a busy day at work, best enjoyed with a warm cup of coffee and a closed door.

I try to read as the new comics are posted, but sometimes I am forced to read small batches (2-4) in order to catch up.

So, who's the gentleman with the unusually large nose? Prisoner, collaborator? Salesman for a travelling cloak company?

    now two figure out who he (the guy with the large nose) you will have to go back a bit and re-read. I do though like the salesman for a traveling cloak company

Update reader, not patient enough to wait for multiples….

Glennnn » 17 Jun 2011 » Reply

The graphic novel sounds like a good idea, but only if you can write with the same caliber as you draw.
At any rate the crowd up there in the 1-panel is a bunch of butt-uglies !
You're really setting this confrontation up…. ! !

    Trav the bean » 17 Jun 2011 » Reply

    actually glen- it is a compilation of the first 152 pages plus some extras…:) of the comic. I might add a page or two here and there but it is the webcomic. In fact there are already single issues of this webcomic already out.

    yeah the confrontation is growing

That is an awesome idea.

Have your say!
