Sorry, I'm new-ish (registered a while ago but haven't been online) so I don't know the answer to this question: What's going on with the 2000ad online website? Its always offline, will it ever be back online?
Also, related question: Is the Futureshock submission thing still going on? If not I guess I'm going to have to find an artist and write my own comic... Or I could that either way.
It's being worked on and will be back online when it's ready, or possibly two weeks earlier if Tharg can get his time machine working.
and yes the futureshock thing is on-going, when the sites up & running again there should be guidelines as to how to go about this. meanwhile there are lots of small/ independant comics/ press out there, many on this here forum. in fact if you post " artist/ writer/ staple-droid wanted for free " you should well get lots of pointers.
