Excellent!
Has anyone here used Manga Studio? If so is it worth it? I'm planning on starting up a potentially lengthy comic series and I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to try a tool specifically designed for the job as opposed to my standard tool (GIMP).

I'm not very experienced, fact is I've only had 2 days so far to mess around with Manga Studio 4 EX, but I can give you my opinion! I haven't used it to color anything, so I can only speak for the lineart tools.

What I like about it over Photoshop (which I still use to color) is that the lines feel a lot more natural. I could never get the hang of inking in Photoshop, it always looked unconfident and messy. I have quite shaky tablet hands, and there are settings in Manga Studio where you can put how much correction you want on a line. Far and away that is the biggest thing that has helped me, and I actually enjoy drawing digitally now that I can draw a bit slower but still get a really clean line.

Neat, so it does have line correction, that's something I liked about using Flash for my lineart back in the day.
At the moment it's going to be primarily black and white with with only a few coloured in pages, so when I get to that part I may just use GIMP.
