A comic version of my novel?

[bhattmayank2010]

Hey everyone...
I have published an dark fantasy novel "Elyndor: Eyes of the unseen" I have published 22 episodes so far. and god not much but still 9 subscribers, as it have a lot of action and drama. So I should publish a comic version of it or not, I'll like to read your views on this scenario.

Go ahead a comic version always gets more traction.

However, you'd be forced to delete a lot when doing a comic version

Before I started to make the final version of my Black Fang, I was thinking... "comics or what to do with it?" Then I went through some scenes and figured out that making a comics will be a pain to the balls. Just as kyupol said - you would need to delete a lot. And since I had a lot of mood changes and action scenes, I would either need a ridiculous ammount of panels or lose some important parts. So I went the "novel way"

You may be likely better off to create a new project entirely that plays to the strengths of a comic medium than by just comic-izing a novel. Comics get through much less plot per page than novels do, and are much more expensive on a per-page basis.

If you do go ahead with a comic version, think about how to play to the strengths of the comics medium and how to avoid the weaknesses.

Just keep in mind that in the time it will take you to draw the comic you could have probably written five novels. That if you don't burn out before and drop the comic after a few episodes.
