The above panel is from Norm Scott’s hilarious webcomic Violence Man. Speaking of Norm Scott, he has a site he’s involved with called Webcomnik.

From the about page:

Webcomnik provides news and reviews in the world of webcomics, but make no mistake — it is first and foremost a fansite, dedicated to a continually-growing circle of high-quality webcomics. And when we say ‘dedicated,’ we mean it. The comics we track — there’s a handy list of the current line-up in the left-hand sidebar — are watched very closely; we endeavor to provide notice and commentary on EVERY strip updated, and on every news item relating to these fine examples of the medium.

And we’re expanding. As I write these words, the list of comics tracked stands at eleven, and will be perpetually added-to. Over time, Webcomnik will provide complete coverage of every webcomic of quality known to the public — and quite a few that currently are not.

In short, Webcomnik is dedicated to the promotion, success and expansion of every webcomic we track, and by extension the entire webcomic industry. We appreciate and rely on the support and interest of readers like yourself, and hope you’ll stick around and help the cause.

The only problem I see here is that all the webcomics being tracked (with the exception of Spookingtons) are already hugely successful (Spookingtons is excellent, but it’s really the only “unknown” in the listings) and really don’t need much else in the way of promotion and support. Regardless, I’ll keep an eye out, it’s a kindred spirit to The Scienteers, and I am hoping it widens up significantly to find comics that not everyone has bookmarked already.

Alright, here are a couple notes from Comixtalk. First of all, there is a search for creators for an Otakon panel.

Xerexes mentions that Mangacast will be releasing a number of their manga-titles as e-books. Nice to see more embracing of internet distribution.
