There are always lots of factors, sales usually being foremost, but reader interest an important element as well.
Telling Putnam on social media that you'd like to see more "Suburban Dicks Mysteries" couldn't hurt!
Thanks for the support.(less)

Good question and the answer is worthy of a book (or a monthly comic series) all on its own.
Most comics I've written for are sequential monthly releases in a shared universe of titles (and company owned properties). There is a grueling schedule that offers no mercy, so you rarely have time for patiently working dialogue, plot, etc. through, and less time for reflection.
I found prose writing (even the second one which had a deadline) to be far more "leisurely" in that I had time to consider, contemplate, pick it apart, etc. More solving a Rubik's cube than running a sprint race.
But comics did help me I think in terms of my pacing and chapter structure, trying to be economical and brisk with the prose (my first manuscript for Suburban Dicks had over 150 pages cut out of it -- and that was about 140 pages of crap!). I think it also helped me immensely with my dialogue, since I'd spent 35 years trying to hone the tones of individual voices, cadence, etc.
(that answer was probably just the introduction to the book about the differences [and similarities] of writing between the two medium) :-) (less)
