The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

I do have a minor complaint–and it’s more a potential hurdle than a complaint. What may work in a vertically stacked webcomic may not flow as well when laid out in a comic book. These pages look fine, and the webcomic itself does go beyond a vertically stacked format. However, I do see missed opportunities here to make the layout “pop” more, like how the far bottom left panel is practically begging for Lyra to break out of it. Furthermore, the other set of books seem to have layout issues; the pages look cluttered to me and don’t flow as well.
 
Look at Andy Price’s comics or many other comic books out there, and you’ll see panels with insets, outsets, free form, and unique shapes appropriate for achieving an appealing aesthetic balance and engaging the reader.
 
Of course, many webcomics have been directly adapted to books, but if being sold as an episodic comic book, then the medium should be put to use. Of course, Andy gets paid big for laying out nice pony art, whereas this is a fan artist presumably offering existing work in another medium as a novelty, so it’s really just a mild observation.

I don’t know how harsh BBC is about C&Ds although I know they are fairly quick with DMCAs. If trademarks get involved the same way as in the US, there could be a serious issue. The Hasbro C&D on Fighting is Magic has convinced me that trademark law is a potentially bigger issue for independent fan-driven culture than copyright. In regard to the latter, companies can at least look the other way (or even act encouragingly) and let loyal (and profitable) fans do their thing, but trademark law actually forces their hand should they wish not to lose the trademark.
