A poll?

[sholio]

A little bit of background on why I'm asking this: I have self-published comics in the past, and I'm thinking about self-publishing again, and I'm trying to figure out how to format this hypothetical project. It would help me a lot to know a little bit about how you guys buy books, or how you might choose to buy them under these circumstances. (Results, you might note, are publicly viewable, so if for whatever reason you want to be incognito, you probably shouldn't answer the poll -- I doubt if anyone actually would mind since I'm not asking for anything personal and I'm not using these results to do anything but give me a little more information in making my decision, but because this is sort-of-highly-unofficial market research here, I don't anyone to feel as if they've been tricked or misused. And lest I sound flippant, I'm serious about that.)

The actual project is a graphic novel, but I think that these questions probably apply equally to graphic novels or regular novels.

That's a really good point, about knowing that the series is done being a factor in buying the first book. (People are bringing up so many good points! I have a smart flist. :)) It sucks like anything to be left hanging, and since I buy a lot of small indy books or self-published/web-published books (graphic novels and traditional fiction) I've been left hanging by authors on more than one occasion. *thinks some more*
