Those guys aims are (I’m guessing) to produce a weekly webcomic to raise revenue so that they can finish an entire graphic novel. Comics have become a loss-leader for producing graphic novels, barely breaking even (in many cases), I suspect Warren is going a webcomic route as an alternative to that. In other words: the format is designed for print because it will be printed 🙂
