2staples Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) not smart Depends on who you ask. It might benefit some people, by way of adding another variable to the high 'from the get-go' prices of the secondary market.

Emezy360 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Best part of the interview So, knock on wood, "East of West" is shaping up to be a hit series. How long do you see the series running? I know Jonathan says he's got it for 50 issues. That would be five years, and I'm totally committed to that. I'd love that! That'd be so rad, to do a 50-issue run of something. We launched at such a [sales] number that I think we can sustain ourselves for 50 issues, even if it starts to decline in sales. I'm in it for the long haul. You say 50 issues in five years. Does that mean there's no extended breaks or hiatuses planned? We do 10 issues a year. Five issues on, then a trade which serves as our reset. Then five issues on, then a trade the following month and so on. Not taking that month off, just using it to prepare ourselves for the next five-issue arc. Hickman handles the graphic design work on "East of West," allowing Dragotta to concentrate on his art and storytelling It's comics, there's no vacations. That's the thing my wife is ready to kill me about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhymenoceros Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Awesome interview! Interesting backstory on the #2 cover in there too. Not sure exactly how that mode of transport works though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThoseBackPages Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 10 issues a year sure sounds like taking time off to me. TPB's dont count, as they contain nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss this bit? : "Not taking that month off, just using it to prepare ourselves for the next five-issue arc." Prepare how? Prepare by not releasing a book? i could have sworn that creators prepared everyday of the week. Listen, i like the book, im not planning on stopping, but lets call a spade a spade.

Says the non comic book writer or artist (thumbs u This whole " taking a break for the next arc" thing just sounds silly, I think thats what TBP is trying to say. This is a new phenomenon in the industry, and trying to explain it away as working for the next story is... well , again silly. Why? 1 issue a month comics with no " breaks" have been a mainstay in the industry for decades.I dont have to be a comic book artist or writer to know that it's not only possible, it's expected and normal. When Tony Moore couldnt keep up with the workload on walking dead, did they decide to release 10 issues a year instead? No , they got someone who could. No gripes here, EoW is sweet. We are arguing the point. Call it what it is, a break . Dont try to insult our intellect. If they are really spending all this extra time and only producing 10 books a year, something is wrong.

Mike's Rack Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I'd prefer 10 quality books a year over 12 rushed jobs. It would also be nice if the break charges the creators batteries and keeps them from burning out thereby resulting in a longer run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
