Hey everybody!

After over a year with a "humdrum" sort of site design, I've finally done some major overhauling. And I'd like the opinions of you fine folks!

My site is http://planescapecomic.com.
(Oh yeah, it used to look mostly like this.

Thanks!

Very pretty! It's amazing what a new site design can do. I redid mine a while ago. It was a ton of work, but man do I like it now.

It's an definite improvement, but I think it still needs a lot of work.

The additional organization is good. But you still run into a major problem,
and that is clutter. Try to integrate buttons into your site design a little more to remove some of this.

Also, the main title/banner ad, while the random scrolling images is kinda neat, is rather confusing and distracting. (the placement of the banner, not the scrolling images.) Your eyes go from the title to the banner and then to the comic.

Archives seem good enough.

Character bios need some cleaning up. Again, too much clutter. Try to separate into different frames if possible. Get some negative space up in there.

About Page: try to put a space between each term, so you don't have a wall of text.

All in all, I think it could use an upgrade in terms of aesthetics.

I suggest the use of image-mapping.

Also, try to center the text on the bottom of your pages.
