Webcomicsnation/Comicspace merge, make money

This is a pretty big deal:

Today, Josh Roberts (owner of ComicSpace and Onlinecomics.net) and I are excited to announce that we have signed a Letter of Intent to merge our businesses into one corporate entity. We will be working with E-Line Ventures, a New Jersey-based ‘double bottom line’ early-stage investment firm (they look at both the financial and social impact of their investments) to secure the necessary funding and support for us to effectively merge and run the combined business.

It's a great match. Despite its meteoric rise and addition of comics "galleries" ComicSpace has needed a quality way of displaying webcomics.  And WCN would really benefit from a better social networking system for readers as well as creators. 

Josh and Joey are both visionaries in their own way, so I think this will be really interesting to watch.
