I would say Illustrator ALL the way, its another Adobe product. I took an Illustrator class and I can barely get the thing to work for me, lawl, but alot of people i knw love it. Its Probably your best bet here as far as I know. If your looking to do comics I would suggest also purchasing a Wacom Tablet along with Illustrator it will prove to be Very very helpful. Check the sources, hope that helps.
