Been really working a lot in Dreamweaver the past few days, and a little bit of Flash. I think this stuff is essential to publishing comics on the web in the future. I'm really trying to get my directory structure set on my hard drive, so I can build my files and have them end up in the correct places. I update multiple sites, so DW is great for easily switching between different domains. I could even see building pages with panels laid out in tables, rather than just doing an entire page as a JPG.
Laying out a comic page in DW would also allow you go stretch a vast distance either down or to the right, breaking out of the standard page format. I'm kind of torn at the moment - will readers accept layouts that don't look like traditional comics? You also have to consider bandwidth and how long a page takes to load putting too much on a single page.
