In case you guys didn't see, GW started publishing several comics last year:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/roommates/
https://www.warhammer-community.com/vhane-glorious/
https://www.warhammer-community.com/tsoalr/
https://www.warhammer-community.com/roll-models/

The problem? They are all dead, save for AoS one (who took very long break beforehand, so it might be just strips made months ago). It can't be GW artists being busy (because two of these are made by outsiders). Did anyone heard why they all suddenly took a nap? It's especially weird in the case of Vhane Glorious, seeing he was about to reach Vigilus and you'd think tie-in to currently ongoing major campaign would be rather high on GW's list of priorities...

Maybe no one was really reading them ?

Other than that, no idea really.

I also realized that. Tsoalr isn't dead, I believe? It still post regularly.

Roommates I tought it was more of a small thing, one shot and done.

I suppose Vhane Glorious is in a long hiatus until Vigilus ends?

I sort of get the feeling that GW isn't quite sure what to do with thier comics. Way back when they did them in Inferno they were often one shot comics or only short runs.

Might be not enough people talked about them or that they've only got one artist or budget for one (hence why Vane Glorious and Roll Models seem to swap over - when one is active the other is dead).

Might just be GW doesn't really know the comic market well enough and doesn't know what to really "do" with them as such. Also lets not forget thus far Vane Glorious is the only one with a single storyline aspect to it. Roll Models jumps in and out of a casual story and 4th wall magics.

I personally hope they continue as I tihnk they are a great visual way to get the worlds of Warhammer across to gamers without relying only on codex and Black Library publications.

Even professional comic artists have problems with work ethics from time to time, I doubt that GW had enough budget dedicted for the comics being done to hire professionals, and amatures probably had just a few strips done in advance.

Look at date, last one was early december. Though, artist posted on his page GW asked him to do multiple pages at once without posting them yet (which makes very little sense but there you go) and it's up to them when they will appear...

No idea if they've stopped or not but every one I read was pretty bad.

TSOALR was terrible though - it was trying to be funny (I think) but was nonsensical.

Roll models and Vhane Glorious are done by the same person; IIRC. I doubt she has time to do both, and in the past, when VG was active, Roll Models was not.

As for TSOALR, I don't know.

Turn Signals on a Land Raider got shrekt by the GW lawyer hammer if I recall after 1000+ issues

They are not talking about the old TSOALR, but the new one that is official and on the Warhammer Community Site.

I think they heard you, because a new TSOALR is up.

Yeah, on the community site TSOALR is running again.
I am rather happy it is back.

I have a comic called "The Redeemer" that was kinda fun for the Necormunda world of things.

I THINK it was before similar comics like "Lobo"

and "Marshal Law".

It certainly is the same kind of humor.

Lobo was introduced in '83, Marshal Law '87 but Redeemer was 2002.

Physical GW comics aren't doing too well - Titan Comics lost their Warhammer 40,000 License at the end of last year. Black Library started re-printing graphic novels (Titan, Daemonifuge) but apparently they didn't sell well.

I think the Warhammer comics might just suffer from being somewhat unknown to the market compared to things like the Horus Heresy series. IT might just be that GW isn't marketing them in the right way.


Also whilst one comic is up there's been no update for Roll Models today :( unless its coming later this evening
