Are sprite comics dead?

[Kriven]

I think the medium is pretty well dead at this point... maybe the recent SMBZ revival will change that, though? I know one the mediums are different, but Sprite Flash Animations and Sprite Comics were prolific at the same time period and I definitely think they influenced one another... so if SMBZ Revival can inspired a new era of Sprite Animation, maybe it'll inspired some new Sprite Comics as well.

I'm curious to know if anybody ever tried to actually do a wholly original Sprite Comic... Y'know, without using existing assets and just creating new poses for their characters as the scene demanded it. I can't think of any that actually did that... maybe it wouldn't be worth the trouble, with how niche the audience is.
