I think this series is great, just one thing.  Do you think you could do the text and the pictures side by side, a la Bearing Gifts?  It's awkward to read as it is.

What's everyone else thing about side-by-side vs top-bottom format for the text?

It's an interesting question. On one hand, I find it a pain to scroll up and down to compare the image to the text. On the other, the criss-cross text for Bearing Gifts to be immensely confusing and I usually take two or more reads to properly figure out who is saying what to whom and in what order.

My verdict: I'd rather scroll up and down a bit to get what's going on than have no idea who is saying what, and especially if there are more than two characters.

Possible solution: preserve the text as it currently is, but set it on one side so everything requires a flick of the eye to compare. It sounds like this is what Haight is saying. If so, then I'm in agreement with him/her.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant. Picture on left, text on right in the same block it is now.

I definitely prefer side-by-side as well, so you can see the action and the text together.

Well, the new formatting is a success in my eyes.

I love both the scenes here; it's a pity we only had half an issue for each.

Turns out I like vertical tiling better than horizontal tiling.  Neither has an actual advantage for me.  Live and learn.

I really liked the first storyline.  I find myself hoping we return to it when our Bookman is busy elsewhere.

I love this series and think the new format is great, but I've got to ask: why all the inconsistencies between issues 13 and 14?  Wasn't Cecilia (that's her name right?) supposed to wake up as his slave who didn't care what he did with her daughter?  How'd her name change and why did she suddenly get all over Katie about hypnotizing her into being a good schoolgirl?  More importantly, when is the next issue coming out??!!!
