Jul. 9th, 2009 06:50 amKieron Gillen on Longbox , some new comics-on-computers delivery system. In the middle he casually drops this little nugget:
We have a few problems. Firstly, we make no money. Secondly, our comics aren’t available in enough places. Thirdly, we make no money. I say that one twice, because it’s the biggie...
The money problem’s the bigger issue. As we’ve talked about before, the single sales of the Singles Club were lower than we’d hoped for. They’re level with series 1, but due to the addition of colour, any profits evaporate. We make no money on the singles. We probably make a loss...
At the moment, with our current methods, a third series of Phonogram is entirely impossible. Frankly, Jamie is too old and too talented to starve for half a year again. Even if he was willing, I wouldn’t want to ask him. If we’re going to do a third series, we’re going to have to work out a new methodology for it. We’re chewing over the options, and have a variety of purely hypothetical plans, but…
Folks, please start wanking for Gillen and McKelvie. If it worked for Morrison then it could work for them. Bash the bishop that Longbox is the online comics delivery system that works because that'll probably be the only way we get a third Phonogram series.
