I don't think there's much storytelling potential in abstract comics, unless you're talking about using abstract visual elements as part of a non-abstract narrative. Scott McCloud does this in Zot! at one point, I think, but I can't recall which issue.
As is, I haven't seen an abstract comic done well (or at all, to be frank) and the concept strikes me as very difficult to pull off. Comics are ...

There's always the GIMP, which is free, though not specifically geared towards comic-making.
MangaStudio comes in two varieties (Debut, roughly $50 and EX, roughly $300) and is geared towards comics and especially manga-style comics, though it's got a bit of a learning curve and a slightly retarded interface. Further, screentones as done by MangaStudio don't really translate to digital very wel ...

Shota? Are you bloody serious.
EDIT: You seem pretty young, so there's a chance you don't actually know what "shota" is, but if you do ... guh.

If I recall correctly, SketchUp is free (unlike the others) and aimed especially at buildings and similar.

Sei -- you browse 2chan? Are you fluent in Japanese?
Or did you hear about that meme some other way?
Sorry if it's a personal question.

I like "The Object of War", Kaxen. Nice, descriptive and probably gives people a sense of what to expect, re: the ending.

I know plenty of people, but a lot of artists that want to do comics are the sort to have "baby projects". Honestly, it's a lot easier to teach yourself to draw than to try getting an artist to work with you in a partnership (as opposed to work-for-hire).

I loved Maus. I don't think it's "overhyped" at all -- it's an incredibly moving work and is an excellent example of how comics can be as "serious" and "real literature" as prose novels.

1.So, out of curiosity, how many of you want to be a comic artist/or writer? As a full time or part time job?
I would love to do it as a full-time job, but that's probably a ways away.

Both!
3. What makes you think your comic(s) will be liked?
Hubris.
4. Do you think you can do it solo?
Sure. I wouldn't really trust any ...
