Tom Spurgeon had two rather interesting interviews up on his site over the weekend. The first is a Q&A with Joey Manley, about the new Webcomics Nation/ComicSpace merger:

SPURGEON: When should the sites that are going to combine, combine?

MANLEY: It’s important that we not launch the new combined site until every single thing that people can do in each of the current sites is represented — and improved upon significantly — in the new site. You can look for that somewhere between 3-5 months from now. After that happens, we’ll start layering on the new features.

Then, he talks to Army@Love creator Rick Veitch about his new series:

SPURGEON: Is there anything that informs Army@Love that might surprise its readers? Now that you’ve completed a fair chunk of work, is there anything that you find in the work that surprises you?

VEITCH: The characters aren’t heroes or villains, but complicated people acting in their own self interests. They make unexpected choices, just like we all do in real life. That might be a little difficult for readers who are trained to expect good guy/bad guy set ups in comics. What’s surprised me is how these characters have come alive in my head, not only when writing them, but when I’m drawing too. They seem to really want to “act” in the panels, rather than stand around looking pretty.
