I recently started a wordpress.com blog for my new comic site. I’m broke, so I thought it was the best option. Whats the closest thing to get a sort of navigation bar on the bottom with it cycling through the comics, like what xkcd.com uses. Any help is appreciated!
Dude, you can checkout http://www.weebly.com . It is a nice place and you will find something useful there.
Though, thinking out loud here, you could also manually add the buttons to each post. As in, create the buttons using your image editor of choice, then just add them manually every time you post a comic. Provide links to the previous comic, then when you post the next manually edit it to include a link. Not ideal, but workable.
Hosting a wordpress site can be as little as $100 a year, easily. It'll be worth it if you're serious about this.
I'm a broke high school-er, so the money can't happen. Better question, what about a theme which starts with the newest post, but only has the one post there. navigation is possible, if I can find a theme like that!
Probably either of these two links should help you :

You can register to WordPress support and post the question there too. :)
the problem I have is that its hosted by wordpress.COM, so I can't do too much to it. I have no money, so It has to be a free hosting site. Wrodpress.com is more limited than the normal wordpress site.
Yeah, if you're stuck using .COM I'm afraid there's not going to be a lot of options for you. Find a theme with the feature you want or find a way to afford a self-hosted site. Sorry.
Probably these links may help, wordpress.com webcomic themes links :
