It's not like they're making the comics interactive requiring a brand new format.

What really sucks is you have no way to make backups of comics/manga bought.
Aye, this is the reason I refuse to buy from Comixology, even though the selection is excellent.

Hopefully, even though they appear to be exclusive to the Fire, and not other Kindles you will still be able to access the books the same way as text-only books.

I've also got my fingers crossed that the $9.99 price point is for the whole selection. For example: All-Star Superman, one of the announced titles, is 12 issues at $1.99 a piece on Comixology.
