Ok, lets test out this new website! Here is the first link so you can read some new pages right now. :)

You can leave comments on pages by clicking on a panel to go to 'page mode'. Let me know how you like the site and if it gives you any problems. 

Also, since you are patrons, I give you the keys to share this post in any way you want. (email, Facebook, twitter) Remember that others will only be able to see up to this point with this link and so please encourage them to become a patron to see new panels as they are updated. :)

I was reading it on my mobile. Looks great, I love the black and white contrast and effects. Nice! The story is funny, "super, super ​creepy subtitle." and the fall was my favorite part so far. The angles you always choose are phenomenal. I admire you and respect you, man. I have one comment: Reading it on my mobile, I realized the text is a bit small. I still read it, but I made efforts (I'm 40, so maybe that's why LOL). If there's something I like about publishing in webtoons is being able to use the blank space for bigger balloons which are not messing around with the art. Being forced sometimes to put balloons or caption with page limitation, was something that bothered me since I started doing comics (twenty years ago)​. So now I have the freedom to do it, and it feels good. So, I recommend you to put the captions and balloons out of the panels if needed to make them bigger. If you are going full on mobiles, this is a significant characteristic to improve. Here you go: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/sr474k2l2zqvgge/phobos_tweak.PNG?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/sr474k2l2zqvgge/phobos_tweak.PNG?dl=0</a> In a nutshell, if I go out from webtoon for any reason (if they stop paying me to be precise), I would go entirely with their format. As a minimalist and practical person, this format is the best for my needs. (I avoid buying physical stuff. Since I experienced moving to Japan, I didn't know how many things I bought that I don't need or gave me joy in the past that were not giving me in the present).

I wasn't planning on spending much time editing the pages to work onto mobile but now that you mention it I can see that I should put more time into the conversion for readability. Thank you so much for pointing this out. It's one of those things that is very important but my rush to get it released got in the way of putting in that extra time. I'll definitely restructure these pages with updated larger text, even used between panels, like you mentioned. Such a great critique. Thank you for taking the time to say and show me your thoughts. :)

If you are considering doing it, that's great! I firmly believe that you, and we as readers are going to benefit from it. I support this format a lot. Besides considering a new way to publish comics in the industry, I'm entirely sure some readers don't use to buy comics -in comic shops- for the following reasons: • They don't dare to go to a comic shop. (e.g., young audiences who are not into the geeky, superhero genre, toy collectives stuff but they love stories. My intention is not to criticize them, or being despotic or mean). • They don't have a local comic shop close home. • They like reading on the go. (Especially the new generation). But if some of them don't use to buy comics, then what're the benefits of dedicating time and efforts to the mobile format? 1. Easy access to your content, and make a reader a potential buyer. (However, your competitors are not other comics, but other apps so focus on a great mobile experience while reading your comic on a mobile). 2. Easy to share online or spreading from mouth to mouth. (while someone is killing time in the subway and another person ask what he/she is reading, here you go!). 3. Presence in the digital world in full (According to comScore’s 2017 Future in Focus report, 66% of that time takes place on smartphones. Only 21% of social media time takes place on a desktop). I heard a year ago that it was 52%. Man, it's going up!). So I invite you to go full on mobiles. I love, love what you did with Sithrah on WT. Then format for the print version. I know that's more work, but I'm sure it worth it. If I were you; I would hire someone to format my comic for printing, then I'll brush it up by doing some tweaks here and there. And man, it's a pleasure to help. More than one time you made me see the light through your words. You're such a great human being and inspiration. But thanks for your kind words toward my work!

Brilliant analysis, Raul! This is so helpful and really does make sense to me. Making the mobile web viewing experience really nice is critical to getting content out there. I'll start focusing on mobile ease and clarity as I move forward on this. :)

I must say.... Phobos looks incredible.... I too love the B&W scenes..... After the preview l was disappointed to not be able to keep reading. I guess that's what an author desires.... To keep the interest of their readers..... Keep up the great work... 👍..... I still dream of coming back to the Big P. one day....

New Pages Look amazing. I loved the you tube intro too. Excited to see more.

Yea, I could not agree more. As I said on the YT vid, I think this is your finest work to date.
