Earlier in the week word got out that Platinum Studios was seeking to purchase WOWIO, the online publisher that makes money by inserting ads into chapters of books and comics. Both have strong connections to webcomics, with Platinum originally signing D.J. Coffman to make an original comic for them (which appeared in one form online; I'm not clear if the actual print comics were online or not). On the other side, WOWIO uses a lot of webcomics for its service.
