Read More Seeing how it's been over 18 months since I last did anything with Komix!, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the site is completely dead, but the steady hit stats show that some of you still make use of it.
I've been pretty impressed with how well the scraper has continued to work in my absence; I've spring-cleaned about a dozen of the more popular comics so far, and only a handful have required anything more than a minor tweak.
I don't have any definite current plans; the site still needs a lot of interface work, which will require finding a new designer, but other than that I'm only thinking about getting the current comics all working correctly.
The original reason for stopping work on Komix!, apart from lack of personal time, was that the comic authors themselves didn't show much enthusiasm, which surprised me a little.
I'm not going to switch back to full-steam with all of the remaining ideas, but I might try to get back to the stage of listing a new comic maybe every week.
Stay tuned!
