It appears the dev decided instead of shutting it down they will convert it to a manga tracker instead.

I didn't find comick.dev, a couple of hours ago comick.io started redirecting to the .dev domain. The admin for comick.io also announced it in the discord it is not fake. It seems the website is still under progress though.

The main page doesn't redirect though but manga pages redirect to comick.dev: https://comick.io/comic/00-oyasumi-punpun

Thanks for the Discord link. I looked into it and updated my comment.

New update from the admin:

Comick has become a tracking/wiki site. So don't log in to any site where you can read manga.** If you see manga reading available, that site is fake.**
The .live and .art domains are fake sites. Even though you might be able to log in, that's my fault. These guys hacked the old Comick server when I didn't really care about security, because Comick was just a small site and stole data. Luckily, they don't have the Comick source code, or they can't use it because it was the old version. So, they only copied Comick appearance but the source code is different. 3.** Comick lost 1.5 months of data **when I upgraded the PostgreSQL server but forgot to restart the backup process. But servers were removed -> I can't recovery these data, but Comick is continuing to build data again. Also, you could check old manga by searching in your browser's history.
Your passwords are always encrypted, so your password won't be exposed. Even I don't know what is your password.

I know Comick suddenly became a tracker/wiki, so it will lack a lot of features, but let's just wait and see.
