"Blogger" for Comics

Joey Manley, founder of Modern Tales, announced the launch of WebComics Nation yesterday:

"Webcomics Nation is meant to do for online comics what services like Blogger have done for personal journals, or Flickr for photo-sharing: enable anybody and everybody to reach a large audience with his/her ideas and creations -- in this case, in comics form," said Manley. "WCN tames the latest and most complex online technologies (like, say, XML, RSS, and 'web services') and puts them to work for you, easily, invisibly, and in an automated way."

On his bad signal email list, Warren Ellis called it "the most powerful webcomics
publishing system around." Accounts cost $79.50 per year if purchased before Aug. 5, and $99.50 after.
