I got that hourglass issue also, as previously mentioned, due to slow loading times.
Also, your colors are not nice. Looks too much like a 12-year-old made the site.. not sure why..
Your side panel, is very long, and your page content is approx half as long, so you end up scrolling down and there is an empty page, only a long-ass sidebar.
The blue color in your logo should be the same exact blue you use on the page.
You are showing a "list of comics" link on your homepage, but when you open the list, it's practically empty.. I would wait on adding the link until you have some additional content.
You contact us page, I would add a message box, not just an email.
I know many people say its useless, but personally I feel it looks more professional than an empty page with an email on it.
Good luck,
