Jeff Smith Tweaks Format On RASL

Jeff Smith announced a format change for his ongoing serial RASL last Friday. This piqued my interest because of the ongoing discussion as to whether or not Diamond is doing a good job processing any books out of standard format, and RASL was running slightly longer than a regular-sized comic book. But according to the announcement, the change to 24 pages and bi-monthly publication status were made for the fundamental reasons that 1) people seem to want more installments in their hands more quickly and 2) Smith thinks it might be easier to work in the shorter installments. About the only thing you might be able to take away as a market measure is that if more people were doing serial narratives right now, it might be easier to wait longer for any individual series to put out a new comic, but that's a reach even by my crabby standards. Also, I hadn't realized that the overall projected size of the work was out there, and I'm not sure why I didn't know this: 350 pages.
