I find it’s biggest offence there is that it is a wide font. A comparison of the 'regular' font version for both Comic Sans and Comic Neue. The font comes in various shapes and sizes, but each corrects Comic Sans’ less popular characteristics.
Have a look at a number of good comic books and you won’t see anything really like Comic Sans appear. Comic Neue aspires to be the casual script choice for everyone including the typographically savvy. And frankly, it fails as a comic book font.

It’s still not enough for it to “bounce” along it’s baseline well enough to read like something that is genuinely handwritten. Comic Neue is a well-known redesign of the (in)famous Comic Sans font. These imperfections though, are probably intended to enhance its “handwritten look”, but it tied to just disrupt the kerning oddly. The design is a little erratic - for instance there are things like the little “hook”on the the capital C and S, variations in the “tilt” of letters affecting their symmetry, several letters a,b,c,d are practically round, whilst others (like that blasted capital C again) are not. It has awkward (and occasionally baffling) kerning - the spaces between the letters are a little variable so it doesn’t always sit easily on the eye. The squashed, wonky, and weird glyphs of Comic Sans have been beaten into shape while maintaining the honesty that made Comic Sans so popular. It aspires to be the casual script choice for everyone including the typographically savvy. Personally, as a Graphic Designer, I’m not really a fan for a few reasons beyond fashionable opinion. Comic Neue is a modern, acceptable update to Comic Sans font.
