Dionysus is going on hiatus.
This will last a month at the most, and we're doing it because there are some major changes in the works.
First off, we're rewriting Book One. We were never really satisfied with the story we told, and believe it was one of the weaker parts of the comic keeping people back. We're going to be taking the time to to fix what we felt were definite problems with the narrative structure, as well as the starting art not meeting current standards.
This is something we've wanted to do for a while, and while we considered doing it at the same time as continuing updates, we feel that splitting attention would let both suffer. It will also bring a slight change of format, as we'll be breaking the books up into discrete chapters to better help flow.
So while yes, things will be starting over from the beginning, this time it will make a lot more sense, and take far less time to get to relevant action. And there will be new jokes too. We've learned a lot over the last almost year.
Our facebook page and tumblr will still remain active with art and updates. You can keep up with us there!
