  The thing about Beasts of Burden, despite what I said above about it being so unique to comics, is that it is a creator-driven product. As such I could easily see Dorkin and Thompson releasing an illustrated chapterbook (much as Mignola has done with Christopher Golden on Hellboy), a younger reader storybook, or even a motion comic for the Geek and Sundry youtube channel. Frankly, I think Beasts of Burden would make a rather dramatic feature length CGI film in the Pixar vein, maturely told, kid-accessible. Yet it does require fully the involvement of Dorkin and Thompson, who seem to derive great pleasure in returning to Burden Hill and so obviously hold nothing back in investing in their creation.
