Is this webcomic still active?

Crewbrothers and crewsisters;
It has been said to me that bumping a topic of a certain age- i.e. the only other thread here so far, which dates back two years or so- is considered often to be a bad idea, so here it is.
Interestingly enough, my acquaintance with Hepcats as a published print comic began with #11 (the original DD printing), which I believe is the next installment for the current webcomic. Mind you, as I have seen no activity on the Hepcats CG page since discovering its 'resurrection', I have no idea whether or not to expect any frequent updates. What little I have heard online of Mr. Wagner's travails between Antarctic Press' reprints (all of which I own, if it's worth mentioning) and the present day does not engender a great deal of hope in me. Of course, having only heard from online posters and not having met the man himself- online or otherwise- I can only presume certain facts to be accurate beyond what little I do know.
In any case, I'm glad Mr. Wagner decided to attempt to restart Hepcats in some form or another. Erica's backstory had only begun by Issue 12- which AFAIK was the last printed work to date, other than the 20-30 pages of Way Of The World (which I think were quite good), and as a 'catch-up' fan (having only discovered the series at #11) I was looking forward to seeing more of HC after #12. As there have been no posts in this forum for close to two years, and no activity on the main page since November of last year, I would very much appreciate it if someone of authority here, should there still be active monitoring of this forum, would post me back with, hopefully, some degree of update. I am very fond of the albeit-short run Hepcats had, and I hope Martin will continue working on rebuilding the Hepcats' fanbase.
