GSL is officially over. REDG plans to launch the individual comics at some point . The different IP's will be featured in the Markiplier mini series to provide exposure which could lead to an eventual launch of those properties.

There was an update on the GSL in the last Q&A from Benny, April 21, 2016.

Hmmm, I'm getting a 404 error.

Fortunately someone had the foresight to copy and paste the Q&A:

Q: What is the status of GIANT-SIZE ACTION?

A: We have had to put GIANT-SIZE ACTION, and the GIANT-SIZE line concept of ad-supported free PRINT comic books, on hold for now.

The GIANT-SIZE line was a bold experiment: a business model that had never been successfully executed in the entire history of comics. No new concept is guaranteed success, but like all start-ups, we did the best we could to make it happen.

We put all of our resources into launching GIANT-SIZE, but the support from advertisers was ultimately not there when it counted. Quite simply, while the initial response was enthusiastic, not enough advertisers were willing to risk hundreds of thousands of dollars from their limited budgets on an unproven print comic book publication. In recent years these advertisers have been primarily focusing on digital, and see POWFOLIO as a more attractive platform than print comics to advertise in.

Q: So is GIANT-SIZE dead?

A: Not at all. We are simply putting it on the back burner while we build relationships with the advertisers through ZWAG BOX and POWFOLIO. Advertisers were hesitant because we simply were not well-known to them. The only way to BE a known commodity to advertisers would be to either put the comics out at a huge loss (not viable without further dilution, which we did not want to do) or to do what we are now doing... become a known commodity through our other platforms.
