Great coverage of the issues and the Ellis issues around leaving the book and being shoved into a crossover. Pity.
ReplyDeleteBut much more interesting is your decision to stop reviewing comics in 'real time' given the show. I can see two sides around this.
Reviewing things in real time could drive people to actually go to the store and buy the comic. It could bring in new readers, making sales healthier, and in theory lengthening the run. For example, sometimes reading Mart's reviews will ping me to get the title. Heck, even this Doom/Raccoon book sounded interesting enough that I might have bought it. Of course, for people who wait for the app or the trade, the chances of them remembering and going back in time to listen to the show is less. While potentially increasing the book sales, it could also potentially decrease your listening audience.
Of course, waiting to review current books has almost the reverse. For sure, everyone can listen with an appropriate 'spoiler warning' timeline and more easily read along. But the likelihood of going out and buying the floppy and supporting the book (and the store) is probably less.
I don't envy the decision. I am glad you reached one you are happy with!
Since so little of what we do is new, it shouldn't have a big impact. Supporting the shops and industry matters, but so does supporting listeners.
DeleteNo blanket right answer.
Completely.
DeleteYour listeners should be your focus.
I agree with what you did.
But I thought about it a lot on the drive in.
