I must say...i've been an avid reader of comics for years, adn with the exception of Black and white comics, I.E. Sin City, or James O'Barr stuff..I cannot remember anything from a reputable comic artist that had...such bold black lines all around..
Comic artist, the good ones, I.E. Jim Lee, and Gregg Capello, and Todd Mcfarlane.. ect ect.. They use TEchniques such as a "lite' i think its called, where they dont actually draw the boundaries of their art, unless nessicary, but they use the shading around the boundaries to dictate them.. with a slight lightened space btween the shadow and the boundary in question..
or other methods similar to that...
Thats like, some stuff ILM would have rubbed Vasoline on a camera lens in the 70's to get rid off...

I agree wiht Jay, rid the image if the aforementioned lines, and Use colors, and composition to make it more 'comicy' if thats what you are truly going for...

if anythign the black lines, in my opinion, take away form the picture adn say " hey, look at me, i can color within the boundaries.."...Sorry if thats a bit harsh
