Introducing New Comic Wednesdays, a new feature at descendantsserial.com

Dear readers,
As I've been saying hinting, the time has come for a change. The universe the Descendants inhabit is getting bigger and now it's simply too big for a weekly schedule.

For the past two years, each issue of The Descendants was separated by two weeks of stories from elsewhere in the setting; most recently the Liedecker Institute series and The Whitecoat and the Second String.

But when the current issue ends, a third miniseries will be forthcoming; The Spider's Seven. I feel that almost a month between issues of the main series is something that many of you, especially those who aren't interested in the other stories, are not willing to put up with.

The solution: I'm adding another day to the schedule. The Descendants will still update every Monday in the a.m. And on Wednesdays, the day you also pick up your actual paper, sequential art comics, you can also check out the newest issue of a Descendants-verse series on the following schedule starting this coming Wednesday, February 2nd:

First Wednesday - Liedecker Institute
Second Wednesday - The Whitecoat and the Second String (miniseries*)
Third Wednesday - The Spider's Seven (miniseries*)
Fourth Wednesday - Descendants Presents...**
Fifth Wednesday - TBA

*miniseries obviously run until they end. Upcoming minis include: Vorpal: Gyre and Gimble (working title)Liedecker: Life and Times Part 2 "The Apprentice"

** includes sneak peeks at works, especially scenes from in-universe entertainment including "Malady Place", "Imago", "Live Metal" and "Taskforce: Earth" as well as other projects such as the Descendants prequel "Descendants Prime" and the Descendant-verse vampire series "Whitepine Hollow".

I hope this change goes well and to the enjoyment of all. If you have questions, concerns or suggestions, feel free to comment on the blog or on the community (which I know looks dead, but if you post I will answer).

Aside from that, the new site continues to take shape and proofreading back issues continues. See everyone in February for the first update in this format: the Lidecker Institute Annual #1
