Stealing A Page From The Mark Millar Playbook
OK, this will be my final post on Tokyopop's online exclusives, I promise.*
Given the way this is playing out, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that at least one title currently being offered exclusively through Tokyopop's website will never see print. When the low pre-orders come in, Tokyopop will quietly remove that title from its site and pretend the whole thing never happened. (If Tokyopop is contractually obligated to publish the work in some format, it will then become a true online exclusive, available for viewing on the Tokyopop site as a webcomic.)
So here's the current list of online exclusives in case it changes at some later date:
* For this week, at least.
** If I'm wrong about this, I'll not only buy and read a Mark Millar comic but also post a positive review of it, no matter what I really think of it.
