I may have no choice anyway RorrKonn. My version of PoserPro(2010) may need to be upgraded, and at an upgrade price of $249.00 it's a little steep for me right now. Plus in case I don't have the PC requirements to handle even the 2010 version I have now, it may be more trouble than it's worth. What looked interesting to me about Anime Studio was the type of tooney looking 2D stuff it can produce, and the character wizard looked interesting too. Too bad that the only way I could export stills is to purchase the Pro version according to the Smith Micro Tech, and the cheapest I've seen that online was $175.00.

I guess at this point in time the only way to avoid having to invest more money beyond just purchasing MS5, is to stay with my current version of Poser and make do with that, which seems to be what you guys have been recommending all along. Probably is what I'll end up doing for now and see how I fare with that first.

I downloaded Inkscape yesterday, that's a pretty cool free program. I'm not very familiar with its capabilities yet, but I'm wondering if I'll be able to put that to use for some phase of comic creation as well?  My wife has PS6 so I have that available to me, but that is still new to me as well, and having almost exclusively used Gimp for so long I'd have to get used to the differences in UI.
