Last post by Jim_Campbell - Today at 10:15:05 AMQuote from: O Lucky Stevie! on Today at 09:41:10 AMBecause someone has to write, draw, colour & letter that exclusive graohic novel material in addition to the strips running in the Prog & the Meg.
My post near the bottom of the previous page has a link breaking down the maths on that, in case anyone misses it now that we're onto page two of this thread...

Last post by broodblik - Today at 09:56:41 AMI think maybe it is to do that in the meg you can measure its popularity and know if it is going to worthwhile releasing it as a TPB. Going straight to TPB you might not be sure how well it will sell

Last post by Tomwe - Today at 09:56:10 AMIs it possible these strips were already commissioned and/or complete in the can before the decision to cease the Regened prog takeover issues happened? The Meg is a hungry beast after all. I'm happy with this decision.

Last post by O Lucky Stevie! - Today at 09:41:10 AMSerious question, and I know you probably know better than me, but why would it be more expensive to go straight for a TPB, than to print it in the Prog or Meg and then put it in a TPB?

Last post by Barrington Boots - Today at 08:33:52 AMAs a not-regular Meg reader, I think this makes the Meg a much more attractive prospect than bogus IDW Dredd or a horrible Hookjaw reprint.

Last post by Colin YNWA - Today at 07:40:34 AMThis is great news. Really looking forward to it, especially with some of the titles annouced - more Pandora Perfect can only be a good thing. The new artist on the strip looks good too.
I'm not sure the tonal shift in the Meg will be such an issue. After all we've had a ton of 50 and 60s kids comics reprints in the Meg, so if anything this will be less of a shift than that?

Prog / Re: Prog 2383: Blood Work
Last post by broodblik - Today at 07:26:32 AMA very good prog which showcase a lot of diverse stories and art – top notch line-up high five here
Dredd – Creepy stuff as Nick Percival is the perfect candidate to paint these scenes. I saw some people complaining that /Dredd isa bit of a prick but that is how I enjoy his being (he is not a hero he is the Law). Enjoying this run.
Intestinauts – Some interesting developments as we are pulled further into the story. Interesting concept on how the first part is depicted – I feels like back in days when Diceman was still active.
3riller – A very good start to the 3riller and I am already pulled into the world. As the story progress we are intrigued and fascinating to where this is heading. Now, the biggest problem we these 3-parterts for me normally is how to end lands (it can make or break the story)
Brink – Kurtis are shown more of the habitat and the signs related to the sect (and if you were ever shown how they produce certain products you will be "cured" for life). Excellent episode, slow burn action at its best.
Vex – Some great world building continues as we are apprised how the Citheronian Queen got her power and how she literally ensured her dominion (but Midnight has something to say about that). Brilliant episode, Vexless episodes keep on pushing the envelope.

Technically, if it's issued only in book format it's an original graphic novel (OGN) rather than a trade paperback (which is a collection of material previously published in a different format).
The big difference is right there: with an OGN, you've only used the material once. You have to cover the entire commissioning costs upfront and swallow those costs for the length of time it takes for the creators to produce the entire book. I ran through the basic maths of the whole thing in this post.
