I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. There's just something cooler about comic pages than normal bristol.

It depends on the company and the press. The formula changes as time goes on and you loose some good papers. Buying your own gets you much more consistent results.
As opposed to having to keep 5 different inks on hand for whatever paper you may end up with. xp I hate having to buy destructive inks because they're all that work on the paper.
Plus, again, mediums where you need to stretch paper really shouldn't be done on bristol. I tend to prefer illustration board myself, but I can't print blueline on it and it's really expensive in the long run. Generally I see people using Arches or similar.

I've got a bunch of Blueline I picked up at the art store with a hideous Liefield Man on the package for comic paper.
I haven't really decided what medium I want to settle on when I start doing the pages for what I'm working on, but I've got plenty of work to do before that becomes critical. The advice will be quite useful when the time comes, though.

I mean printing out blueline of pencils and layouts, not guide lines. The Blue Line Pro pages are alright. They don't really have a finish I like, I'm growing to prefer rougher paper.

Really? I hate rough paper, but that's probably because I do a lot of pencil crayon.

You get more texture with rough paper. It creates more atmosphere and lets you really get your money out of a brush. It's death to nibs though, when I'm nibbing I go smooth, but at that point I'm doing design pieces, not comics.

It just destroys them, there's no point to it. The G nib is about the only one that can take it. I'll use the Faber Castelles. Not quite a tech pen but screw it. Tech pens are for snobs.
