Oh that is interesting. So there are a few bits to pull out of this. Firstly no change in the schedule of these releases, 4 regularly placed issues spaced through the year. So something is being seen to be working, so that's good. Let's hope the experience from this year will help the scheduling for other strips. The other shame of this is we'll get these shorter stories that won't have momentum. One thing my kids reading The Phoenix shows is my kids (I know this isn't a great sample size!) they really enjoy ongoing stories. That said I can defo see why they don't have a condensed run of these.
Secondly its fantastic to see the stories that seem to have hit the mark here Pandora Perfect and Department K are coming back. Really hope these strips become a regular feature.
Third Phil Bond back in the Prog - wayhey!
Fourth the fact there is the same schedule suggests Tharg isn't yet sure how to take this to the next level or move things on which is a shame. There might be interest in how the collections do first, or this might be this the end game in itself?
Happy to see this continue but would like to feel this was going somewhere a bit more independent at some point soon.
