Feedback please.

I need your help readers. As we draw closer to the January return of the comic I find myself stuck. Why? I've been working on Issue 10 and frankly.... I'm not impressed. I don't know if I just don't care for the direction, the current state of the art, or possibly just the approach to the current story, but something is really bugging me. So I am asking for your sincere feedback. I was thinking of either scraping issue 10 and starting over on it, doing from a different take OR starting the comic over in a a reboot but attempting to take it bigger. To be fair the comic right now is flawed. Anyone jumping in now has to go read through a bunch of punchline three panel comic strips to understand whats going on in issue one. Though I have my dedicated readers you all are in a relatively small group as compared to those not my readers.

So here is the catch if I reboot I'll be reformatting the way I handle the arcs. Since my comic is arc driven completely I will take an approach another comic I read has taken and separate all arcs into 4 parts and label them each in turn essentially putting three distinct arcs into each year. The biggest draw back would of course be that my readers now would have to put up with rehashes of older tales until about year 3. Though the pro is that this will give me a chance to address older stories in better ways and allow me to flesh out the characters and their respective personalities, and inner struggles to hopefully keep them from being too one dimensional. Then in year three we would finally be able to move forward and see where this rabbit hole takes us. So I ask my readers, would you rather I continue the path we are on, or see if we can do it better in a reboot, taking it back to Bob and Shelly first learning of their powers? I honestly need some feed back on this. If you have trouble leaving feed back on the blog follow the facebook link and give feed back there on the link to this blog. I need to know what my readers think.
