Thank you.

I know some publishers have had some minor titles go digital first (was some Harley Quinn spinoff the biggest one? I honestly can't remember), then go to print, but this is the major news we(/I) need to see the start of a major shift in the industry. For years, I have been calling for a move to digital singles followed by those singles being collected in TPBs/HCs. And not just some titles, but...the entire industry. It WON'T kill LCS's. Tho their lease space may eventually need to get smaller...

Anyway, I am all for this. A few of those look real intersting and I always liked Snyder's indie stuff way more than his DC stuff (save for Black Mirror). However, I may buy ALL the TPBs out of principle. Tho I guess the real principle would be for me to buy all the digital singles, too, huh? :confused:

Anyway again, again, I know there have been previous pioneers, but they were more like scouts. Major props to Amazon/Comixology, Dark Horse, and Scott Snyder for doing this.

[QUOTE]The last thing for this crazy long newsletter, I want to start showing you the books we're doing for comiXology Originals. I'm so proud of these books, and we have three coming out in October. They're calling it Scottober. I know, it's funny, but I kind of love that they're doing it. The first three books come out the first three weeks of October—We Have Demons with Greg Capullo, John Glapion, and Dave McCaig. It's like big Saturday morning cartoon fun, but it's R-rated. It's everything we loved to do in Metal and Batman, but in our very first creator-owned book together. I couldn't be more excited about it. Obviously, it has terrifying demons, it's got a secret organization that fights them, and it's got a great hero team. I don't want to spoil it for you, but I love this book dearly.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]The second book, Clear, is me and Francis Manapul, who's a dear friend, and it's speculative—

[You can hear the lightning and thunder in the audio]

—Speculative science fiction. It imagines a future where we all connect to the internet neurologically, and we can skin the world however we want, even though the superstructure of the world remains the same. So, if you want to look out and see the world in a filter, a “veil,” that's 1940s glamour, you can. If you want to look out and see the world in porn veil, everyone's naked. If you want to see the world as though the history of the world is different, the history of the country is different, you can do that. So, everyone lives in kind of a private reality, and it's a murder mystery that takes place in this future, and it's narrated by detective who keeps his setting on “clear” all the time. So, it's really dark, I'm hugely proud of it. It's Francis' book in that he's just doing next level work on it. Wait until you see, it's like a visual feast.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]And the third book is Night of the Ghoul. I've been working on this with Francesco Francavilla for a very long time, we've been teasing it forever. And it's a story of a man who works restoring old films, digitizing them, and he comes across the remnants of a film, a lost horror classic from the 1940s that was supposed to have been destroyed in a big studio fire, and the film is called Night of the Ghoul. And the story starts after he's tracked down, with his son, the director of the film who's still alive at about 100+ years old in hospice care in the desert in California, and meets with him to ask what happened to the film and what happened to him—why did he disappear afterwards? And so, it begins this real claustrophobic, horrific night, and it intercuts between their interview and the horrible things that happen at this rest home and the remnants of the fictional black and white film. So, again, huge visual kaleidoscopic book.[/QUOTE]
