ImageText isn't a webcomics specific journal, and isn't the only comics journal out there, there's a lot of comics theory published in the Journal of Popular Culture and more importantly The International Journal of Comic Art, as well as The Comics Journal, which covers web comics. I fail to see what your point is David, and how it relates to the comments it purports to respond to. It seems to support them entirley, by arguing that such sources do exist which allow articles to be written.
Personally, I consider Journal of Popular Culture to be the limit case when I say that all peer-reviewed articles should have a Wikipedia article either on them or their author. It's just... not very good.
Comics Journal is miles from peer reviewed.
IJOCA is worth noting as a comics journal, though to my knowledge they've never touched webcomics, have they? I confess, I don't pick them up, though I have a review coming out in them that I should probably grab one of these days.
