Very cool!  I was taken in immediately with the artwork, especially with the drawing of the strong, beautiful woman swinging a sword of light or fire.  Though I did misread the title on that page as "The Butcher of Balls" which gave the artwork a very different meaning [and feeling]  :o ;D

Anyway, I've never been too into comic books or graphic novels, so I wonder what others think about this distribution system.  Lenswork Magazine [http://www.lenswork.com/ (http://www.lenswork.com/)] did something along these lines that I thought was brilliant.  They continued to print and sell a high quality magazine, but then they also offered a CD for sale containing an electronic version of the magazine and lots of extras [interviews with the featured photographers, extra photographs, etc.].  Over time I did something I thought I'd never do, stopping the print magazine and just getting the CD.  Though if I had the money, I'd get them both.

Thanks for bringing this to us Steve!
