If you like comics you'll probably enjoy this WotW serial. Darkhorse is posting new pages weekly...

This is obviously a marketing tie-in with the upcoming movie version, but it does lend some sort of hope that companies like Dark Horse will find a way to make a viable business model out of offering content online. As a collector, I value the printed material. I have a book case filled out with pretty, leatherbound editions of graphic novels. While I don't want to see my precious bound materials to disappear, I also don't want the publishers of such a rich medium to disappear, either. The costs to publish and distribute comics keeps going up and the readership is going down. Web publishing is an obvious step for the next generation in graphic novels and while there are many successful online comics, I don't know of any that have made the actual transition, or that have tried both online and printed versions of the same material. I can only hope.
