Ben's Book of Banned Beasts- Page 5
hpkomic on Aug. 4, 2007
I hope you guys like this page, I really enjoyed drawing it. I�ll be finishing up this storyline soon enough, this is/almost the halfway point. However an important announcement at my site summarized for you here:
It looks like a lot of things will be changing for me, and Ben?s Book of Banned Beasts will go on to be an active project, even if not through Platinum (long story and I can?t divulge any details just yet, I don?t want to jinx it), so then I will have three projects to contend with as well as school? GHS, Cosmic Dash and Ben�s Book.
To quote Phillip J Fry �That dog won�t hunt Monsignor.�
So, I have devised a plan.
I want to merge GHS and Dash into a single comic, since they�re in the same universe, share the same characters and the plot weaves between the two titles. So Dash and GHS would then just become Cosmic Dash, and the narrative would jump between two casts which is actually not a hard thing to do for me since I was ALREADY doing it. I could even update more times a week simply because I don?t have to divide my attention between two comics, now they are simply one. I have a crap load of comics done on each, but I can?t post multiple GHS a week because I always have to take time to work on Dash for Furrlough.
So, I guess my question is, any objections with seeing Cosmic Dash as a webcomic again, sharing time with GHS?
The TL;DR version?
I will be expanding GHS to include Cosmic Dash, which means more updates, and two storylines at once. I won�t change the name of the comic on DD, it�ll still be Galactic Hub Serreven, but the comic as a whole would actually be Cosmic Dash. For those of you who don�t know, Cosmic Dash was a print project. The new Cosmic Dash/GHS stuff will ALSO be in print with extra features. If you want the stuff that�s already printed, I won�t be posting that you�ll need to check the back issues.
This of course won�t happen right away though, I have to finish a story for Radio Comix, and get GHS to the point where the merge won�t be jarring, but the intention is to consolidate them as one soon enough.
Trust me guys, this will rock.
GHS is up for a best sci-fi comic award, go vote for it!

She looks angry, like she's ready to kill the monster. Is she a monster killer?

That actually makes pretty good sense to merge GHS and CD into one comic. I can imagine some pretty wacky hijinx will ensue. Great use of one of my favorite Futurama quotes, too!

Looks like I'm gonna have to go through the Cosmic Dash archive. I've been meaning to, but there's always something distrac... Oooh, what was that! Eeee! Pretty colors! ;) But back to Ben's story itself - looks great and it's funny. I did tell you a zillion times you're a pro with artwork, and every time you prove me right more and more.

I kinda miss GHS...^^ I tried mixing 2 comics under 1 webcomic title but my readers seemed to fade. I don't know if your plan will work with GHS + Cosmic Dash under GHS title. But, there's nor harm in trying. ^^

I'll have to check out comic dash. However all your comics are pretty cool so it should work well.

It all sounds good. Can't wait.

Don't know what Cosmic Dash is like, but if it's in the same universe as GHS it should work fine I reckon. Go for it, boyo!

yeah man, you gotto make some sacrifices. I dunno if merging is the way to go though, but I guess your fans will speak up about that. I'm hooked on this comic! Glad to hear you'll have it covered regardless, hopefully my vote helped you to a Platinum deal though! Good luck!

Haha! AWESOME! I've never read Cosmic Dash yet, but it sounds like a good idea. I'll definately still read it if it is anything like this!
