Thanks Basmah999. :)

I agree it's a shame.
Lily of the Valley will continue and be sold as digital issues through the DC Comics site soon though, but still i really liked the webcomic format. It was best suited for the type of comic Lily is and the fans who read it.
I intend to continue with Lily through their new format at DC, but in September I'm also launching a webcomic with it's own site, called Highschool Suicide. It'll be similar toned to Lily so you'll like it.

If you're intereted, you can keep up to date on Lily on facebook at: [link]

or through my facebook fan page, I'll announce not just Lily news but news for my new webcomic, etc. at:
[link]

and obviously you can keep up to date through deviantART, but I'm much better with updating my facebook pages. lol

Thanks again!

Thanks for the watch =) Glad Lily made the cut, (and what a way to say it) love the almost surreal sort of style. And good luck with the new project, will be looking for it.

If you need help setting up a site for it, hit me up. Or if you want to do it yourself, I'd suggest using wordpress with comicpress linked in as the CMS. It's what I plan to use for my own eventually =) Makes maintenance easy.

Thank you for the watch as well!
Glad you're liking LILY. :)

For the new webcomic I'm starting, I do plan to use Wordpress and Comicpress. I'm completely new to running a site, even with those, so I might hit you up for advice at some point. haha

Thanks again :)
