I'm pretty sure this isn't what you're intending, but just in case...
If you're doing the chapters as separate books then as far as I know all the printers will allow an option for colour covers with black and white pages inside.

Not necessarily, if it's a big enough book to have an actual spine on it, technically you can do it in spite of what eishiya pointed out.
The difference is the black and white pages that correspond to the colour ones will be charged at colour rates, but it still ends up cheaper.
Depending on price, it may be worth offering both a colour and non-colour version for your readers to choose from.

Not sure about Createspace's quality as I haven't used them yet. I have seen books from both Kablam and Comixpress and they look very good.

I guess the plus side is that you can have it hosted on Amazon's site (good trusted website with tons and tons of visitors) but they actually take more than 50% royalty of the price from what I gathered. Well, from the sounds of it, you do get what you pay for from them.
On Ka-blam - is the quality similar to the regular marvel/dc comics that we see on print shops or sub par?
