It's interesting that Fantagraphics has chosen this format to compete with manga, if that was the plan. Surely they could have gone with a digest-sized books, like Marvel's Runaways...

I tried a few titles including "Baobob," which Fantagraphics claimed would appeal to manga readers. (Because the first issue was set in Japan, I guess?) I thought some of the images were quite lovely, but the accompanying narrative was so self-consciously literary that I decided not to collect it.
