Warren Ellis to Launch Free Webcomics Portal

11 Comments POSTED ON Jul 31 2006 AT 3:52 pm BY Beat

Warren Ellis is putting his money where his mouth is with his interets in webcomics, according to a post by Joey Manley at Comixpedia:

I am working with Warren Ellis to launch a free webcomics portal using the new Webcomics Nation Collective Edition Engine. This latest addition to the Modern Tales family will be all free, all the time, and defined by ‘Warren Likes This Stuff.’ He’ll be making a call for submissions soon. Gary Chaloner will be designing the site. This is the first new (as opposed to pre-existing) site to launch with the beta version of the WCN Collective Edition engine, soon to be a commercial product available to anybody who wants to launch a multi-creator webcomics portal (your own Keenspot or Modern Tales, in other words) inexpensively and with ease. The name of Warren’s new site, and its URL, will be announced soon, probably at The Engine.

    Good news upon good news.

    Huzzah!!!

    I’m equally interested in the fact that we’ll soon be able to make our own webportals…

    For the first time in my experience, The ENGINE is inaccessible, with an error message indicating “too many connections.” Thou art powerful, Heidi.

  3. Joey Manley says:

    Comixpedia is also down from the traffic.

    I think Warren’s new site is already a hit.

    Better get more servers …

  8. Hello friend, I am very much happy to see your blog. But the problem is I can’t understand the language. Thanks for posting. All the best.
