I've decided to conclude Fugitives From Reality with Episode 50. After a year of doing a hurriedly slapped together photocomic about the WUMB, on a more or less weekly basis, I've gathered enough know-how and studied the trends, etc etc... and decided to end this Wizard Universe Message Board version of Fugitives From Reality.Some of the things I've learned:
- Feedback from fellow WUMBers has been pretty good, many liking some of the strips, few disliking the whole comic altogether.
- Non-WUMBers didn't understand most of the in-jokes, natch. So many of the comics were hit or miss.
- You can't please everyone if you slowly cast people you know into the comic. At some points I was receiving 1 to 2 requests a week to be put in the comic.
- Social commentary in webcomic form is very funny.
- I received more hits from my webcomic's page than from the Wizard Message boards.
- Non-North American visitors would contact me to purchase my figures! (note to self: hook up with sponsors!)
- And finally, Az's Bearfighting gag transcended in-joke barriers. A big chunk of my unique hits were for strips featuring Az's comedic appearances.
Anywho, so Episode 50 will be it for the focus on the Wizard Universe Message Board. Expect Episode 50 to big the longest FFR episode EVAR. And April 1st is the relaunch date for "Volume II" of Fugitives From Reality.
