What is Double Take?
Double Take is a new comic publisher spearheaded by former Marvel President (and controversy magnet) Bill Jemas. The initial launch of ten titles is being released on September 16, 2015. All first issues can be read online for free at the Double Take website. All ten titles take place in one common universe.

I have it on good authority that a goon works in the office too... :ssh:

What's with the panel-by-panel digital presentation?
Double Take's comics are designed for mobile optimization. They incorporate elements of stop-motion animation that give the stories a unique feel. Give it a try on your smart phone or tablet of choice!

What if I don't want a "unique feel?" Gimme my pages!
Double Take is also releasing comics in the traditional way. Print versions can be found in comic shops and retailers throughout the US. Issues can be purchased individually or in Genesis packs that contain all ten first issues of each series.

How come I've never heard of these writers/artists?
Many of Double Take's creators are new to comics. Others have worked for small publishers or independently. Other than Jemas, however, there aren't really any creators who could be considered "big names" (yet!). Let's all wish them long and highly successful careers in the field.

Is the Double Take company man still here?

You guys got an excuse for why the newest issues were several months late? You guys blow all the money on hookers and coke?

Thanks for the question, friend!

Unfortunately I don't have a great excuse for you. Our "hookers and coke" budget is very strictly managed so I doubt that it played a role in our recent tardiness.

For everyone else, I encourage you to check out the latest (late) issues. Our second issues were better than our first issues. And our third and fourth issues are better than the first two sets.

They should be returnable for being this late.

I'm not really the person to ask about that but I can put you in touch with the person who is.

The first trades are coming out and 'Home' isn't one of them? loving bullshit. I need to get the last three issues, they just snuck up on me.

That article is wrong. Home is coming out as a trade.

FYI goons, the trade paperback graphic novels are out now.

I know the response to the first issues here was full of, uh, constructive criticism. But for what it's worth the books improved from issue to issue and the graphic novels are full of improvements (especially to the artwork in the early issues of each series).

If nothing else, you can get the entire saga of Swearing Girl for $10.

How does this work in print? Is it just still 6 pages of the same picture with minor changes?

The print version looks more like a regular comic book (non-ALL CAPS lettering aside - though this aspect tends to be a big negative for some). There is some repetition in the animated spots but it's not just a collection of the digital storyboards.
