The people who are probably shitting right now are the local comic shops and Diamond Distributors.
Comixology, whether due to temperament or just due to size and leverage, was playing fairly nice with the existing comics ecosystem. Now, they're owned by a middleman that makes Diamond look positively cute by comparison, and one with a fairly explicit goal of crushing all local shops of all types.

There's also no reason Amazon doesn't just put Diamond out of business by putting one team on making a Previews-like ordering system.
