I have a ProLogic plan with Startlogic. To be honest, I don't know exaclty how good a host they are, as I've never had another one. However, there's very little down time, and you get tons of space and bandwidth for only $7.50 a month (on the Prologic plan; others vary in price.) It has a fairly easy-to-use and effective management system called vDeck which would allow you to upload pages, view statistics, manage your database, etc. What, exactly, are you thinking you'd need for a "webcomic format?" It's probably pretty easy to design with HTML, but I have no knowledge in that area.
