At portrait mode (full screen) you can see the images pretty ok, but reading the text is difficult, if not, impossible.
There are comic books optimized for small screens, but they require you to pageflip almost constantly. By the time you finished the pageflip, you have to press again, because it takes time to load the next page, and generally there's not much info on it.
Most comic books I find online, are optimized for a minimum resolution of 1024x768; 1280x800 is even better!

Totally agree. By the way, the 6" iRiver Story HD has a resolution of 1024x768. I might pick up one of those. Still waiting for a
lightweight 7" Android tablet with 1280x800 resolution and long battery life.
Kindle DX resolution is 1200x824 which makes it quite ideal (if you can stand the large size).
