So here's the deal. We've explored the idea of doing a book before, and it turned out that it's basically just too expensive to do any time soon. We DO still want to do it, it just has to wait til we can afford the initial investment.
BUT! The problem with the book is the size and the colors. What we CAN afford to do is a comic book.
When we did the Bodyswitch story arc years ago, it was when we were still planning our arcs to last 4-6 pages. So when we hit ten pages, we were like "woah, better wrap this up before people get bored!" and then the overwhelming response from readers was "we were loving it! It ended too fast!" There was also the surprising adoration for Clockwork Joe.
So what this book would be is an extended bodyswitch story. Between 24 and 32 pages of more twists, more hijinks and more Joe. The basics of the original arc would be kept, but the pages would be redrawn. Color covers and B&W interiors.
The goal would be to have the books ready for our next convention in May, so we need to know ASAP if there's enough interest so we can get started.
