What is the best way to interact with audience? Forums? Or something else?

Forums combined with some sort of rant/newsbox on the main page. Chat rooms are nice, but unless you have a huge readership nobody's going to be logged in at the same time you are. E-mail and instant messaging are too dependant on the reader taking the initiative, and guestbooks aren't really interactive at all, although you can use them as a makeshift forum. Different people are more comfotable with different ways of communicating, so having as many available as possible is generally a good idea.

Not that I'm one to talk. My forum is almost dead.

I still get most of my feedback by visiting my friends and pestering them to read the comic.

yep. i got a bad case of "dead forum"... but i think its the only way apart from getting people to sign up for a newletter (yeah right) that you could *successfully* get feedback from readers. however, not all readers go through the trouble of registering for the keenspace forums...
