This may be a positive step and a better opportunity to introduce this book and its cast to a larger number of readers. Even Marvel and DC are feeling the struggle of trying to introduce new product in today's marketplace. By going to the web, Claypool might better be able to bypass the frustration of trying to get onto the spinner rack at Border's and head straight to the comforts of the graphic novel section. My hope is that "Elvira" and "Soulsearchers" both follow the web publishing path as well. Good luck! It can be done! I agree with Darren.

Claypool is still in business, and they're moving over to the new business model of comics, with digital offerings taking place of the floppies. Give the industry another 10 years, we may have very few floppies with lots and lots of collections and anthologies of webcomics churning out. It's good that Claypool is actually doing something more than just giving up. May they make a big enough splash now to get their digital feet off the ground!
