They introduce the characters and set up the plot, so that you want to know what happens next. Most DMotR readers arrived a little over halfway through the thing, which means they had ~70 comics to get into it.  Now we&#8217;re starting over.  It will be interesting to see how many readers follow and how the audience changes.

I know that forum registration is an annoying hurdle, and that some people won&#8217;t bother.  (I&#8217;m always slow to join forums, because signing up is so tiresome.)
