Add to that the individual skills in assessing how closely your monitor image reflects the comic, and how well calibrated your monitor is, etc. ad infinitum and it's nearly impossible to be anything BUT subjective about ANY scanned comics page. So having access to the raw scans with ZERO interference and "fixing" is, as you say below, the best alternative.

I just wanted to chime in and say how much I'm enjoying the technical discussion of people's different approaches to scanning. I've worked in the print industry specializing in digital prepress as my day job. This conversation has not only been interesting for me, it also has useful tips that I might be able to apply in other areas of my digital work. :)

PS -- I want to echo the advice to keep a "raw" scan of any images for archiving, separate from any cleanups or edits applied in Photoshop. Once you start tweaking the underlying pixels, you can never get that original data back. You never know when you might have a reason to go back and rework the edits, or apply a different tool in a later version of the software, without going back and starting over from scratch with a new scan.
