Like, specifically in that I have a few stories that are very near and dear to me that are probably too long to be well told in say, a 300 page GN. Comics are unfortunately a big math equation of time/money/methodology

So even if I WANT to commit to some monstrous, ongoing comic project, the options are....shorten it immensely to fit trad publishing and get some pay, or perhaps take it online as a web comics, probably without any pay for the foreseeable future?
