The Bad News
It's been a few days since the news came out to the general public: InkBlazers is shutting down.
This is very sad news for many folks, as InkBlazers was the home of tons of comics and their fans, and offered a centralized community for many to participate in. Several of our own members have been a large part of InkBlazers, so this has been very difficult news for everyone involved!
