Colour print run: how crazy am I?

So I've decided to look into printing a small run of the first chapter of my webcomic A Circle of Stars (mainly for friends, since it's not professionally finished enough that I'd feel comfortable selling it to random strangers). The problem is that it's very much a colour comic and 24 pages long, which means crazy expensive.

So, any suggestions of comparatively cheap ways of printing it? The best I've been able to find with some googling is We Print It, at $14.25 each for 20 and Quick Colour Print with $10 each for 50. But most places were just really vague about their pricing (I can't be bothered asking them all for quotes right now)
