Take a look at . . . https://blambot.com/

A lot of their fonts are NOT free, depending on how serious your are about your comic, that may or may not be an issue, they're not terribly expensive. It looks like there are some that have a free license for non-profit/indie use as well, so poke around.

The knock on comic sans isn't so much that its particularly a bad font, ifs just that, much like papyrus or any of the other native MS fonts, its the first stop for any one looking for anything more interesting than MS Sans, as such its used constantly, often times in places where it wasn't a good choice, unlike using for it, gasp, an actual comic. Basically, its the "lazy" choice, and when you're talking art and design, that's going to frowned upon. There's no real harm in soldiering on with it for comic work, but it certainly doesn't hurt to see if you can't find something you like more.
