Studio Foglio is moving from publishing individual issues of Phil’s comic Girl Genius to a web-centered model — new pages on Monday, Wednesday, Friday (starting 18 April), with annual collections in print.
A great idea, if they can pull it off. Like, ah, most of Phil’s output, Girl Genius has been, um, occasional. Triffic and funny when it comes out, to be sure, but rarely adhering to promised monthly (or bi-monthly, or quarterly) schedules.
Can Phil & Co. stick to a 3-page-a-week schedule? Will removing the grunt work of actual issue publication make the whole thing a lower-threshold effort?
We’ll see — and I’ll keep my fingers crossed that this works, because, as this sample shows, it’s a great title.
