Have you tried black-and-white comics, like most Japanese manga? In my own experience, I've had that jarring feeling when reading full color comics, but only rarely for black-and-white (regardless of origin). I think full color makes it too easy to become engrossed in/distracted by the artwork, while black-and-white maintains a better balance so the transition back and forth is smoother. The level of detail in the artwork also seems to make a difference.
As an aside, Japanese (and I assume Chinese as well) also has an advantage due to its glyphs being visual by nature - i.e. you can view a panel in its entirety and still pick up meaning from the text without actually reading it word for word.
