I remember a comment once that pagination could be a sign that you need to provide better filtering or search options. Not so relevant for online comics, but consider a store where you're in the Camping section and there are 800 results. The user is likely to be better off with sub-category filters (tents, sleeping bags, etc) or a nice, fat search box with auto-complete. My pet peeve with pagination is when the default items-per-page is something pitiful like 10 when it could be 50-100. NameCheap did this for a long time when listing your products in the Control Panel - it was agonising!
