1. I have several questions about the actual comics. What form will comics take? Single page posts or entire issues? Will issues be downloadable? Is there some method to archive them so you could just read the story straight through without other kinds of posts?
2. If I changed from annual to founding, would I keep my initial place in line for the rewards outlined?
Besides the question of what happens to the queue if you change payment tiers, is there any place to check what our position in it is? (i.e. was I one of the top 100/250/500? If I haven't subscribed yet, can I have any idea if those slots have been filled?)
The founding option seems to have a lot of uncertainties of it (moreso than the other tiers). I trust this project will be awesome and the rewards to be cool, but I'm not in the US, so I imagined I'd have issues with any physical rewards. Even despite that, an extra investment of 170 dollars a year (3 times the 'regular' subscription) seems like a considerable amount of my budget I'm not comfortable spending without knowing what the bonus (or even the regular comics) are or having familiarity with this model (on a Patreon/Kickstarter I'd at least have a bit more of an idea of what I'm signing up for). I know the surprise is part of the point of it, but having a bit more clarity on what subscribing means (for all tiers) would be very helpful
Does Founding Member really mean I'll continue to pay 250 dollars per year, or is it 250 dollars for the first year, and later I become a regular (annual) subscriber? If the former, will there be continuous rewards for Founding Members every year to justify the cost?
Assuming it's indeed a 250 dollars/year commitment, what happens to the tiers if I change my mind (or my financial circunstances) later on? If in some months, or even a year from now, this is my favorite thing ever and I want to start paying you 250 dollars a year, would I still be able to enter "founder tier"? (or possibly an equivalent tier with a more appropriate name)
Alternatively, if one year from now I'm not able to continue paying, will I no longer be considered a founding member even though I was there from the start?
Is there any length estimate of for how long 3W3M will run? (i.e. is it planned as a closed story, or given the 'concept universe' nature of it the idea is for new stories to continue being published indefinitely? If the latter, won't you get tired of it eventually/change the production throughput greatly?)
The one question I had is that being a founding member will I qualify for the ashcan? I saw that the first 100 annual receive it and you said that there will only even be 100 made. But then you said that founding members get everything included. Just want to clarify....thank you!
Discord Update: We have reached 100 members!! Unfortunately this means the link above in the FAQ has expired. Here is a new permanent invitation link. Admins if you can update the link in the FAQ, thanks! https://discord.gg/AkDuYq8z64
I'm curious if you'll ever consider allowing for submissions. The medium is ripe for an engaged exchange between creator and audience. Also, seem like it'd be fun to play with the line between story/fan-fiction.
Will the comic be divided in subseries? Will there be a calendar with weekly or monthly issues so we know when are the comics coming out? (or pages or how you intend to organize the comic)
While I am very excited to see the content created here, I've read some questionable things regarding Substack in terms of some of the creators the platform is choosing to host and support. I've also read that other authors and artists that announced comic projects this week have acknowledged this and are some are going so far as to provide monetary support to those marginalized groups affected by the actions of folks like Graham Linehan. Will you be doing anything similar?
This is great. I’m very excited. I asked before and you mentioned that you’d have more info soon, but if I originally subscribed as an annual member then the next day changed to founding, does that count as now being a founding member? It looks like I’m not. Still so intrigued and will be here everyday the moment you post something new! Thank you!!
THis has already been asked but i want to stress how many of us want this answer, so i'm asking as well. Hickman - does this mean you are leaving the X-men books?
I am here in full support of this new Substack venture either way - but with so little info to go on about the substack venture i can't form intelligent questions about it yet, so i default to the X-men question.
How does this new venture effect your work in the X-men series of books? Will we still be seeing you in the X-men group of writers after Inferno?

Anyone interested in joining an *unofficial* 3W3M discord server?

Is there any chance that you might release some of your other works like Feel Better Now or Frontier on this platform?

Will we follow specific characters throughout the cycle? Oh, and do they have things like art, entertainment or sports in their culture?
Glad to be here

As always keep up the good work!!!
Will we be following multiple characters or focusing on a primary character as they venture through the three worlds and three moons?

Will there be any sort of schedule or calendar for upcoming updates? Or will they be randomly timed surprises each time?
