This looks great! B&W or color is pretty subjective, but I have to admit that the golden hills in the last couple of pages really put some life into that scene that wasn't quite there before.

I agree that each style has its pros/cons but after seeing this world in color I don’t think I’ll look back.

I’ll continue to release the b/w version digitally but will likely pivot and only print color versions.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, you could also split the tiers and make colored a premium product, there are options! And you bet!

The Color’s look amazing. Puts the comic in a whole direction. I love the difference.

As someone who has been a long time reader, this is great feedback. Quick follow up: would you be upset if I discontinued the black and white editions?

Puhh thats a tough one. Every time i start with one (black and white) or (coloured) i‘m amazed how different it is the other way around. They are just so different. If it was for me i would always read both.

Black and White

Pro: expression in Faces, great dynamics

Coloured

Pro: Settings are enhanced like sunrise sunset, Mood of a scene is easier to transport

These are just two for each so you can see what i think.

Generally i would say most people are used to comics being coloured these days.

So i think its great to have an option. But if i have to choose i would choose the one that gives you probably a bigger group to sell it to and that would be coloured i guess.

Hope that wasn‘t to long.

Not too long at all! I was just curious.

I actually have no plans to stop the black and white. I want to always offer the book that way first. Then when it’s time to collect a volume, do so in color.

I appreciate the thoughtful response!
