I think it's important to note these changes distinct from their existence as promotion for the features and the site because of the resurgence in the "Manleyverse" portion of the webcomics publishing field, which reflects not only renewed interest by multiple-site founder and longtime webcomics figure Joey Manley but also a general interest in webcomics and a recently legitimate revival of various on-line revenue models. Although fortunes can easily change, perhaps more so in this field than any other, and it's difficult to tell a jumpstart from a death throe, these moves suggest a potential saturation point or reached threshold, so I want them noted.
