I think this will improve the narrative.

I haven't been following MANHATTAN PROJECTS, but it's been on my periphery. Is it worth catching up during the hiatus?

It is! For the first three volumes it is one of the best comics I have read from Image. Volume Four falters a bit so I think this Hiatus will be really good, but by all means, try it and enjoy it.

Sounds like this is the perfect opportunity to catch up and then start pulling at issue #26. I've always been curious about this book.

One of my favorite monthly reads. I look forward to the new format.

A very nice OSHC containing the first 10 issues was released a short time ago...

One of the best titles out there. If you haven't read it yet, I highly suggest getting caught up! Hickman can do no wrong with me.

I will use this gap as an opportunity to catch up via trades as this is a series I've been interested in.

I definitely enjoy Manhattan Projects (I'm currently up to Volume 4) but it is nowhere as good as East of West in my opinion. I think this break could do the book some good and give it more focus. I will definitely keep buying Hickman's Image work and this is no different.

I agree that the book needs a break to regain focus. It lost its main antagonist back in issue 18 (I think it was 18) and hasn't been as compelling since.

I could never get into Manhattan Projects. I read the first issue and I just didn't care for a single character, the narration, nor the artwork at all. Had a solid premise and intriguing story, but it just left me empty inside after I finished it.

I love MP but agree it needs a less “sprawling ensemble narrative”.

Looking forward to its return.

[eye of all]

This book had gone a little stale for me, so I'm hoping this gets things moving in an exciting direction again.

Yeah, the last arc kind of went down hill for me, but I'm looking to give it another shot. Even in it's off times, it's still the craziest comic out there, and never fails to make me laugh.

I am curious though, what does he mean when he says "more pages", and that it'll be a different format? Is it just going to be a bigger book that comes out every once in a while? Image's March 2015 solicitations can't come out soon enough...

I stopped reading around #18, but the sprawling ensemble cast was one of the things I kinda liked about the comic... =\
