And nan different point was moreover though nan original comic book run, I think, was 75 issues, we conscionable ended up burning done communicative faster than we thought we would, because nan individual issues, a batch of them, erstwhile they were first being published, are only 17 pages.”

So erstwhile we first went into it, we thought it would beryllium perchance 4 10 section seasons. Now, nan first play had 11, nan 2nd play is 12. When we talked done it, we felt, let’s make a somewhat bigger Season 2 and return it done to nan end. There’s ever nan anticipation that we could do immoderate of nan different spinoff material, if you will. But it was conscionable a mobility of, like, do we do it arsenic 3 seasons?
