* SLG Publishing is switching the company's model for comic book series to a digital first distribution policy.
"The market has been pushing us away from serialized comics and more towards books and graphic novels for some time," said SLG president and publisher Dan Vado "However it is difficult to publish a 200-page graphic novel from an unknown artist without having some sort of lower-cost entry point like a comic-book series to help build an audience, so going digital first seems like a good way to introduce readers to new creators and build an audience which we can build on for potential book releases."
SLG digital releases will be available in a number of formats and places. From its own website, SLG comics will be available in .PDF, .CBZ and ePub format. "Our ePub files have been formatted to look best on an iPad using iBooks," Vado said, "but they should look good on whatever you like to read ebooks on"
