Is there ANY scenario where an indy publisher should be utilizing the 22-page pamphlet format? From a purely economic standpoint it seems to be a huge waste of money and resources, and also not a terrific buy for your consumer. I mean charging someone 3-5 bucks for a floppy when they can buy a TPB with 6 times the content for $10 bucks more seems a little ridiculous.

Also...shouldn't this thread be titled Death of Floppies?

Death to Floppies makes it sound as if you want them to die........KILL THEM THEY SUCK....that's why I first came in here. I wanted to see why everybody wanted to kill of the poor ol' floppy comic

Yes, I do want them to die. Like I said, if I could do it over again, I wouldn't even utilize them. I am happy to hear that you guys are doing well Bill. Look forward to seeing you guys at Gem City smile.gif

I do like the idea of using them for artbooks or specials, but I'll never do issue-based floppies ever again unless they're one-shots.
