exploring options for the physical + digital release of the monster au (Patreon)

With the end of this comic slowly coming into sight, I thought I'd ask you all what you'd personally prefer for a timeline of releases. Obviously a physical print run will be available much later than a digital copy, just because a digital copy is a matter of making a pdf available for download where as I'll be waiting for weeks for book proofs and the actual print process. With this in mind, I just wanted to put feelers out on the demand for a compiled digital copy and whether I should release the digital and physical copy together or make the pdf available as soon as it's finished. For reference, the earliest a digital copy would be available would likely be in December 2025, where-as a physical copy's earliest availability would be in either late January or early February of 2026.

To get ahead of some other questions, I'm currently estimating that the digital copy will be $50 AUD (33 USD) and the physical copy will be $100-110 AUD (66-73 USD) which doesn't include potential tariff fees or shipping.
