It is nice to get a bite sized story, but overall the format isn’t for me. I’m terrible even with regular series! I love them, but more often than not I try to wait until the whole series has been published before I start reading.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-36107501075538270602012-01-24T13:12:51.375-05:002012-01-24T13:12:51.375-05:00Awesome review, Smallsie!

While he does read many in graphic novel format (after the issues have all come out and they are collected in one book), some of his favorites he just can't get enough of in one sitting. It's a cool concept for a book to do it that way. The big question, which you asked as well, is will there be a hard copy format of all collected episodes after they are released?<br />- Jessica @ <a href="http://booksake.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Book Sake</a>Book Sakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000472552375000686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-52948683752105591912012-01-24T01:37:29.541-05:002012-01-24T01:37:29.541-05:00This sounds like fun.

They read more like...hm, you know how a normal book in a series reads? How some have a self-contained story and then also an overarching plot? It reads exactly like that, but shorter. I'd say it has more substance than a short story though and it is definitely NOT like getting a single chapter. The second episode picked up right where the first one left off.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-82240217699856767682012-01-24T00:13:14.598-05:002012-01-24T00:13:14.598-05:00Sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm with you, I hope there is a big bind up of stories, but maybe they'd be short stories? I'm not sure. Did you just read one story? It looks like there are three out with different names. If you read more than one do they read like chapters or seamlessly. Or more like short stories?<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.com
