Four more years? Do you think there will be a special edition set of all the volumes when the story is complete?

Maybe color ones if poes got the $$ at that point.

Then he writes something else for us to love and buy from him :)

An interesting point. ARE there already plans for Poe's next big breakthrough?

Thats a question for when the time comes. We have a ways to go on ES yet.

There aren't plans, but there's a number of different options he's considering.

I know for a fact that he has a sequel planned for ES (it will be shorter?, and probably not a webcomic). He also has a big urban fantasy (closest category I can think of) story that he's been planning for a while that I suspect he still doesn't feel ready to write (that will also probably not be a webcomic). He also was looking at doing Does Not Play Well With Others, which WOULD be a webcomic, but of the funny gag-a-day variety for the most part, with much simpler art. He might also do some combination of the above, or something I haven't mentioned yet.

/gasp Not a webcomic /!gasp

Well wither way I've been following poe around the internet for more then half of ES now, so I'll be glad to see what comes.

Poe and Ghastly should team up and do a Sexy Losers-esque webcomic featuring the female casts of EN and ES. I'd pay good money for that scheisse.

The more I look at this strip, the more I want to read hentai manga with Etsuko. ^_^

I'm sure I saw someone like her in my many trips to Harajuku...

As a responsible agent, I would be remiss if I encouraged someone I represent to work in a medium that is neither appropriate for the story in question nor likely to be very profitable for them. That said, it's entirely possible that Poe will choose to continue to make his works available online either in whole or in part, as a supplement to print publishing.

In other words, while he will probably never entirely leave webcomics behind, because let's face it you guys rock and it would suck not to have that interaction as the comic unfolds... it has long since become obvious that webcomics are not the best format for the kind of story-driven comics Poe wants to write, especially not when he works so slowly at producing the actual art. What passes in a mere hour or so of reading in book format takes more than a year to produce online, partly because the regular update schedule actually makes it take LONGER to get the pages done, and I think offers a less refined product than print.

Webcomics are also, it seems, not very profitable without placing a heavy burden on the fans. Advertising would be great, but there seems to be a heavy bias against specialized genre-specific stories like ES. Advertisers don't seem to realize that, say, a video game could do just as well advertising with our geeks as with Penny Arcade's. That may change in future, but for now it's being a losing battle to bring the comic to the advertisers' attention.

Without advertising, any income ultimately comes straight out of the fan's pockets, and it just doesn't feel that great to look at a lifetime of producing comics on a primarily PBS (please buy stuff) basis. It's both amazing and moving how willing people have been to donate from sheer love of the comic, but that doesn't mean that it's entirely smart for us to plan on a lifetime of making our living that way. We've got to at least try for better solutions, both during ES and after it.
